Could brain aneurysm be possibly causing major bilateral temple pain?
Patient: Hi, I had a subarachnoid bleed and coiling of brain aneurysm last year. I am having some major bilateral temple pain along with numbness that comes and goes in my left arm/hand/fingers. I have had headaches since the aneurysm, but this is different. Also, my moods have been horrible for the past few weeks. Doctor: aneurysm in brain causes headache due to compression of pain sensitive structure in brain. but pain is usually unilateral not bilateral. this pain will not radiate in both upper limb. bilateral upper limb pain may be due to cervical spondylosis or other causes. you have anxiety of aneurysm, so due to anxiety your mood is horrible because aneurysm does not cause horrible mood change. so your headache may be chronic tension type headache. you may relieved by antianxiety drug, or amytryptyline or benzodiazeoine
