So I have to go in for a couple of tests, because the doctors think I might have a Brain Aneurysm (see below)
An aneurysm (or aneurism) is a localized, blood-filled dilation (balloon-like bulge) of a blood vessel caused by disease or weakening of the vessel wall.
Aneurysms most commonly occur in arteries at the base of the brain (the circle of Willis) and in the aorta (the main artery coming out of the heart, a so-called aortic aneurysm). As the size of an aneurysm increases, there is an increased risk of rupture, which can result in severe hemorrhage or other complications including sudden death.
I don't quite know what to think, or maybe I shouldn't think to much.

hey, sorry to hear you're having to get tested for an aneurysm. I agree it's best not to think about it, but that's easier said than done!
