...potential aneurysm? Its happened twice now in 2 days in a row when I lifted something heavy. The headache lasts sharply for 5 minutes then fades during the next few hours, gone in 4 or 5. I rarely get a headache, never like this. Im 40, just weaned myself off of smoking and drinking so my blood pressure is not settled yet. Ive been taking an aspirin a day until it does. Thank you! I dont have money for a Dr visit.
