I'm 19 this year, average body not fat or skinny and have no diseases whatsoever. I tested for a healthy blood pressure about 2 and a half years ago. Then recently, I've noticed a vein on the left side top side of my forehead. It's kinda like a red/brown in color and has pulses when I press it. I'm quite worried cause I heard about aneurysms and such. The vein has about the same diameter as a PC mouse wire.

You should always be on the safe side and get it checked out by a doctor. That said, you are young and even though aneruysms( mostly found in ages between 40 and 65), can happen at all ages they are mostly brought on by damaged vessels from arteriosclerosis and high blood pressure. Genetics also plays a large part, so if anyone in your family has had one, you could be at a higher risk. Take care of yourself by not smoking, drinking to excess, or taking drugs. There is a lot of info out there. Here is one link that has quite a bit of info for your reading pleasure.

don't be scared, you're no longer likely to die! you are able to consistently take a pulse from someones abdomen, exceedingly in the event that they are no longer obese, and pressing puzzling adequate will reason discomfort from lots of distinctive issues, maximum in many circumstances gas or diverticulitis. Aneurysms are particularly painful ( like screaming, rolling on the floor discomfort) or painless and don't probably reason digestive misery. AAAs often ensue in old adult males, and reason discomfort in the lower back and scrotum, if any. the potential for you having one is particularly small, and in the experience that your warning signs dictated your scientific professional probably might have performed an abdomen palpitation. What drugs did he placed you on? What are your warning signs?

Even babies can get aneurysms, so the answer is yes.
If it worries you go have a doctor check it out. Chances are it's nothing to worry about, but it's always good to hear that from a health professional.

anyone no matter what their age can get an aneurysm
aneurysm are caused by weakening of a blood vessel. the more weak it becomes the more it begins to bulge or balloon out.
anytime you have a serious medical concern-it doesn't hurt to get it checked out by a dr. i know that i always feel 10 times better when i see my dr about a problem. and even though some of us on here are licensed proffessionals, w/out being able to physically examine you-we cannot give you an accurate answer.
good luck to you

Its probably nothing .you're noticing it because your body is maturing ......Aneurysm is inside the head in your brain and yes teens can have one although quite rare for someone as healthy as you.

any one can get them, its not the size of the vein its the strength--don't worry you will be fine---usually happens deep in the brain...
