What are the risks for aneurysms in other places if you already have 2?

I have two aneurysms (ascending aortic, and pulmonary) that are under the watchful care of a cardiologist.

Recently I have begun to have some almost daily sharp headaches, as the result of orgasm. Does having an aneurysm or two in one location of the body indicate that you are prone to them, and should I see a doctor about the headaches I'm having? They are pretty bad when they kick up, and have had the same kind of headache without additional 'inducement'.

I had unchecked hypertension for many years, possibly my entire life up until the first detection of the aortic aneurysm at which time I was put on atenolol. I've seen some references to one being prone to them, and thus they can form anywhere, and my concern is that I may have a a cerebral aneurysm and not know it, outside of the severe headaches I mentioned.

What are your thoughts? I don't want to go running to the doctor for every little thing.
