Aneuryms can be life threatening and requiring immd surgery dep. on the size and location and the symptoms.

Dont worry if you aent satisfied seek another opinion forma doctor and learn more about it on google.

That should help a bit.

A friend of mine had one quite a few years back... the doctors never could find it, but somehow it sealed itself off.. it's been at least hmmm 10 years since it happened, and he's still alive.. but life is uncertian for all of us.. you just have to take it one day at a time.. that's all any of us can do...

If they say it isnt worth going ' in " for it must be less consequential.

The aneurysms really troublesome are abdominal and cranial ( called berry aneurysms ) you can google to see the details.

Really have faith in the medical advice and get a second opinion if need be.

From what you say it sounds as though the doctor was unclear and unhelpful. Get your questions together in writing BEFORE you go to the doctor and sit there until they have all been answered so your mind is comfortable.

I suggest in writing because it is difficult to remember what you want to know when you are in the doctor's office and under extra stress.

As others have said, an aneurism is nothing to take lightly and your blood pressure will not be helped by worrying like this so you need answers.

Don't try to figure out your MRI, it is kind of like a non-mechanic looking under the hood of a car. We don't know what does what.

Good luck.

you've had some really good responses here especially from riya and bajan

as someone who worked in the medical field.....bajan is right on target with writing down all your questions and making sure they all get answered so that you understand them. doctors tend to talk over you and in medical terms that you may not understand. it's also a good idea to take a friend/loved one with you to ask what you forget or to interpret for you later as you may hear one word or phrase and that will cut your thought processes off.

anyeurisms are not something to take lightly, yes they can be minor and nothing to worry about, but you will always need to watch them as they can grow and move and become something to worry about.

as always with any type of surgery, it is best to get a 2nd and sometimes a 3rd opinion.

Good luck, I wish you the best
God blesshug

I agree with star and the rest.
Sometimes they are like tumors,harmeless and can actually be reabsorbed but they can also be a time bomb(sorry) and may grow over time.
If ur not comfortable,and who can blame you,get as many opinions as you need until you get one that's definate.

Best of luckhug

web md is a good source of medical info. I have heard of people living with anurisms. I would check on web md, and make your doctor talk to you more.

Keep your spirits high!wave
