Brain aneurysms: Causes, symptoms and treatments

Cerebral aneurysms happen when a weak or thin spot on a blood vessel in the brain balloons out and fills with blood. If an aneurysm ruptures, an individual may experience such symptoms as a sudden and unusually severe headache, nausea, vision impairment and loss of consciousness.

How did they find aneurysm? Mri?

[@Stargazer69]

An aneurysm develops when a weakened part of the artery becomes thinner in time, primarily because the blood exerts pressure on the walls when it passes through the blood vessel. This bulge may rupture and cause internal bleeding.
Though aneurysms may occur in any part of the body, the most common site is the brain, which makes stroke one of the leading causes of death worldwide. A ruptured aneurysm releases blood into the spaces in the brain, causing subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH). This catastrophic event needs urgent medical attention. This condition can be fatal, and has a 50% risk of death.
Scientists have found that anger actually causes an almost seven-fold increase in the risk of a brain bleed. Doing anything that raises your blood pressure, like being under stress or being upset and even doing any heavy lifting or working out, can also cause your blood pressure to rise which can cause the aneurysm to rupture.

I am a survivor from pretty bad subarachnoid Hemorrhage from raptured anuerysm this year April 2023 and i undergo coiling and stent and stayed in the ICU for three weeks. 5 months after the raptured i still have on and off headache and the fatigue never go away even with weekly sessions of physiotheraphy for over three months now.

I just was in the hospital for medium risk. They told me they weren’t worried about it. Which I find is complete BS.

Very interesting information, but please next time you make a video don't play that annoying music. The volume level is the same as the voice. People tune in to learn something, not be entertained.

Going for the surgery on mine I'm kinda scared.

[@melissasilva7181]

I had 2 brain aneurysms. Both fixed, one with coil and the other one with a pipeline. So far no headaches. Do I sometimes have some vision issues but was told that because my nerve is putting pressure right where my eye is located

[@hiba6522]

Do they put you to sleep during the procedure? Did you feel pain during the procedure?

I caught a virus a couple of weeks ago if one of the kids, then the other morning I got up I was fine until I went and walked to the table then I couldn’t breathe. Then my head started to bang. Then I started to vomit. The ambulance was called, but they said I was terribly dehydrated, was very low blood pressure, my daughter thinks it could be an aneurysm as I’m 60 .. just trying to work out what’s going on did you have any incidences where you woke up got up and then couldn’t breathe and then the headache came on. I’ve been getting headaches all this year always around the same place from the temple across the forehead to the other side of the temple.. i’ve made an appointment at a brand-new doctor. Australian trained doctor tomorrow. Fingers crossed this is the problem I just want it sorted I just want to know what’s going on? I’ve had two of these episodes this week and I don’t want them to ever ever come back. Very frightening when you try and ring an ambulance three times and there’s no answer and you’ve got no one in the house to back you up as I care for my 95-year-old mother thank goodness my daughter got my phone call and was able to ring my older son. He’s then called directly to the ambulance station nearby. They said all ambulances ATM have gone to Sydney because we are going through another wave of Covid well that’s just dandy let us countryfolk die… sorry to put this on to you, but did you have any incidences where you woke up and you couldn’t breathe and did your chest feel tight.julie🥀
