Is Pain In Left Side Head And Upper Palate Symptom Of Brain Aneurysm?

Are there early symptoms of a brain aneurysm? Sine 5/2, I have had little stabbing pains in the left side of my head; for the past few days, in addition to the stabbing pains, I have had aches in that area w/ occasional aching in my upper left palate. This occurs off & on during the day. No ache or pain is severe but I shouldn t be having them at all. Brain tumor symptom, mayb3e How long should I go w/out getting my head examined/ LOL! I am a 71 yr old woman in good health except for my afib, which is being controlled by meds. I do have high BP but the diltiazem I take to slow down my heart controls the BP. G

Hi,
I am Dr.Bruno and Let me answer your query.

The symptoms you describe are more likely due to irritation of Trigeminal Nerve by a loop of blood vessel. Chances of aneurysm are quite low based on what you have written

It is better to consult a neurosurgeon at once and get proper evaluation

If you need any clarification / have doubts / have additional questions / have follow up questions, then please do not hesitate in asking again. I will be happy to answer your questions.
