I still do not know what the cause of the underlying cause of the headache was. The MRI showed the AVM and the rest is history -some still to be written.
The probabilities of having a stroke or cerebral bleeding are reason enough to treat the AVM, specially at my (tender :-)) age. The treatment of the AVM is not painfull but it is stressfull and I have had side effects that are concerning- episodes of numbness on my left side.
And then I can be run over by a bus, or killed by a falling piano.....
Knowldege forces you to act. It also creates stress and the benefits of that knowledge are questionable. If that piano falls on my head, all was for nothing.
