Aneurysms Support Group

Hello. I was diagnosed about 2 weeks ago with an unruptured cerebral aneurysm that they originally thought was about 4 mm. I had an arteriogram on Monday, and the doctor said that it was bigger than they originally thought, but didn't say how much bigger, and of course I didn't even think to ask. I did, however, ask him about fatigue and thinking issues, and he does not think that this could be caused by the aneurysm. I've found a lot of conflicting information online, so I just wanted to see if anybody else has had this. I'll be completely fine one minute, and then the next minute, I'm just completely exhausted and have to sleep. I work from home doing telephone customer service, and some days it's so bad that I've actually fallen asleep on customers. Luckily, I've just briefly dozed off, and I've been able to fake it so that the customer has no idea, but I'm getting kind of scared about it. I'm also struggling with things like finding the right word when I'm talking, and I can't seem to remember things, like I'll be in the middle of a sentence and all of a sudden have no idea what I was just talking about. I know that happens to everybody once in awhile, but I'm talking about multiple times throughout the day, which is very unusual for me. I see the doctor again tomorrow, and I just want to be able to tell him if others have experienced these same things since he's convinced it's not from the aneurysm. If it's not, it's pretty coincidental that all of this started shortly before they discovered the aneurysm, and I've never had these issues before. Any feedback on this would be greatly appreciated. Thanks for reading.
