Hi,
You need not worry about aneurysm now. Epistaxis is not the usual presentation here. Nose bleeds are most commonly caused dryness of nasal mucosa and nose pricking. But since it is associated with headache, we have to check blood pressure to rule out hypertension. Get your blood pressure checked and avoid nose pricking. Sitting bending forward with pinched nose can stop bleed for now.
Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
