Symptoms Women Shouldn't Ignore
Severe Head Pain
Chances are you’ve been affected by a headache at least a few times in your life. But if you experience extreme head pain, it may be time to visit your doctor. Intense head pain, sometimes coupled with changes in vision and neck stiffness, could be a sign of a brain aneurysm. If intense head pain comes with confusion, muscle weakness or seizures, call 911 immediately. Talk to your doctor about your risks for a brain aneurysm.
