Can migraines be mistaken as an anerurysm?

Answer 1

Migraines are a repeating neurological syndrome. The pain occurs, worsens, and then resolves. If the patient has neurological symptoms, they occur and then resolve as well.

Aneursyms, whether bleeding or not, have some similar symptoms to migraines. However, the symptoms of an aneurysm are less likely to come and go. An aneurysm which ruptures is unlikely to simply stop hurting.

A ruptured aneurysm may cause "the worse headache of your life." As i s always the case, if you are experiencing a headache which you feel is the worst headache of your life, it is imperative to seek emergency care, particularly if you begin having neurological symptoms as well (vision impairment, balance issues, speech abnormality, etc..)
