Dear
Welcome to HCM
We understand your concerns

I went through your details. I suggest you not to worry much. Your mental health services people could be right. Let me explain. they said that because they could not find any organic relationship between your current problem and brain aneurysm in 1997. So possible reason is hypochondriasis.

Hypochondriasis or hypochondria (sometimes referred to as health phobia or health anxiety) refers to excessive preoccupancy or worry about having a serious illness. This debilitating condition is the result of an inaccurate perception of the condition of body or mind despite the absence of an actual medical condition.

In your case, you probably are worried about the previous illness and that causes you the discomfort. Such a discomfort and state is possible. The best possible treatment include psychotherapy and relaxation techniques.

Please post a direct question to me in this website. Make sure that you include every minute details possible. I shall prescribe some psychotherapy techniques which should help you cure your condition.

Hope this answers your query. Available for further clarifications.
Good luck.
