00:00Early warning signs of an aneurysm you shouldn't ignore.

00:05A brain aneurysm is a bulging blood vessel that, if it leaks or ruptures, leads to a hemorrhagic stroke.

00:11Most aneurysms are common and negligible, causing no health issues and typically never rupture.

00:20A ruptured aneurysm typically includes headache, blurred vision, confusion, nausea, a drooping eyelid,

00:27a dilated pupil, neck stiffness, sensitivity to light, seizures, and numbness.

00:37Sentinel bleeds involve gradual blood leaks, causing sudden severe headaches.

00:42Immediate medical attention is crucial to prevent a full aneurysm rupture.

00:50Aneurysms are symptomless, discovered in screenings.

00:53Enlarged ones press brain nerves, needing attention.

00:56Unruptured aneurysms rarely cause headaches.

00:59Treatment is often unnecessary.

01:05Aneurysms occur from thin, weak artery walls.

01:08Birth defects or family history increase risk, especially in females over 40.

01:13People with arteriovenous malformation, polycystic kidney disease, fibromuscular dysplasia,

01:23Marfen syndrome, and Ehlers-Danlos syndrome are at higher risk.

01:28High blood pressure, smoking, and substance use weaken artery walls.

01:32High blood pressure weakens arteries.

01:38Ruptures cause short bleeds, damaging brain cells, leading to unconsciousness, damage, or death.

01:45According to NHS, lifestyle changes like quitting smoking, reducing blood pressure,

01:50healthy eating, and exercise can lower risk, offering additional health benefits.

01:54Aneurysms aren't quite regional men's.
