I've had chronic headaches too. Headaches are very common symptoms of a lot of different things, some serious, some not. You should first try to reduce your daily stress factor, get exercise, and eat healthy foods. Changing to a better environment my solve the problem. Keep a record of your headaches, what time they happen at, where they hurt, etc. Also keep tabs on other symptoms such as nausea, eye sight issues, things of that nature. If decreasing stress and improving overall health doesn't cure the headaches say after a few weeks or so, take your record into the doctor and explain your concerns and explain the changes you've made. They will then know the right steps to take or the right things to test you for. I hope you can get rid of your headaches. As far as whether it is serious or not, this should rule out any factors for non-serious issues and find the right test if it is serious. Don't stress about it too much or you might make it worse.

Seeking counseling is always a good idea when under a lot of stress. The counselors can teach you ways to relieve the stress and how to identify what is causing the your stress.
I would say one area that is causing you stress is that you are not comfortable or are untrusting of your Doctors opinion. If this is the case you are entitled to a second opinion. If you think you have an Aneurism I would suggest seeking the opinion of a Neurosurgeon.
Ther is an old saying: If it looks like a duck, quaks like a duck, it is most likely a duck. What I'm trying to say is that most of the time a headache is just that a headache. But if you are worried it is something more you should go with your feeling and have it chedked out by a specialist.

if you think that is why you are scared because of your friends friend passing away. maybe you should talk to a counsler or theripist. to help you relieve some stress.
