Can A Sensation Of Blood Rushing To Head Be Aneurysm?

Lately When I lay down, or even after I lay down I have been having the sensation of blood rushing to my head. I ve been having right side head ache pain, and discovered a soft spot behind my ear that made my head pulsate when I happened upon it. Advice? I do appreciate your time and thanks in advance for any help in this matter. Today I had a horrible headache that radiated behind my eyes and right temple. I have a history of aneurysm in my family. Mildly concerned. 27, female.

Hi, I had gone through your question and understand your concerns.

Fisrt of all, I would exclude any of your headache history being related to any aneurysm. It is true that people who have family history for brain aneurysm are at greater risk for harbouring an aneurysm, but this does not make an indication for radiologic screening.

Considering your headache being on the right side, I would recommend the family gp to take a history on a possible migraine type of headache. The sensation of blood rushing is nothing serious nor your spot which may be a simple inflammation.

Hope this answers your question. If you have additional questions or follow up questions then please do not hesitate in writing to us. I will be happy to answer your questions.

Wishing you good health.
