Yes, a brain aneurysm can be deadly. It should be evaluated by a neurosurgeon.
yes.
It can be serious. The risk depends on the size of the aneurysm. Aneurysms under 1 cm are considered a low risk for bleeding. Aneurysms that are 1 cm and larger are usually treated. If an aneurysm bursts, it is very serious and requires immediate treatment.
It certainly merits an evaluation to put the risk of it rupturing in to perspective. Only 50% of people survive the first rupture.
Yes. Deadly.

Yes a brain aneurysm is serious. See a neurosurgeon or an interventional radiologist as soon as possible to discuss treatment options.
