An injured or weakened vessel wall can cause a blood vessel to bulge or swell.Aneurysms can occur anywhere, but they most commonly occur in the aorta and the brain.There is a higher chance for the aneurysm to burst if it gets bigger.It's important to seek medical attention immediately if you have anneurysms that cause no symptoms and have a high death rate.
Step 1: There is a sudden and severe headaches.
If there is an arteriovenous malformation in your brain, it will cause a severe headaches that come on suddenly.This is a symptom of a brain injury.The headaches you have ever experienced will usually feel worse.The headaches are usually confined to one side of the head.If the arteries near your eye burst, it will cause a lot of pain.The headaches can also be associated with nausea and vomiting.
Step 2: You should note any changes to your vision.
Double vision, reduced vision and blurred vision are all indicators of a cerebral aneurysm.Blood flow to eyes is cut off because of pressure on the arterial wall near the eyes.The accumulating blood can cause blurry or double vision.Blindness in this situation is caused by the lack of blood flow to the retina.
Step 3: Look for dilated pupils in the mirror.
Cerebral Aneurysm is a sign of dilated pupils due to the obstruction of an arteries near the eyes.One of your pupils will be more dilated than the other.It will be slow and unresponsive to light.The pressure of blood within the brain causes the enlarged pupils.The dilated pupils show the damage to the arteries near the eyes.
Step 4: Pay attention to pain in the eye.
You may feel pain in your eyes.The affected artery is near the eyes.The eye pain is usually one-sided because it is close to the part of the brain that had an aneurysm.
Step 5: You should notice if your neck is stiff.
If a nerve in the neck is damaged by an aneurysm, it can cause a stiff neck.The exact location of the neck where the pain is felt doesn't have to be close to the ruptured artery.The nerves in the neck extend a good distance up and down the head area.Pain can be seen past the site of the aneurysm.
Step 6: Take a look at if half of your body feels weak.
Depending on which part of the brain is affected, half-sided body weakness is a sign.It will cause left-sided body paralysis if the right hemisphere is affected.If the left hemisphere is affected, it will cause right-sided body paralysis.
Step 7: Seek immediate medical attention.
Around 40% of people are killed by brain aneurysms, and about 34% of survivors suffer some type of brain damage.If you are experiencing any of the above symptoms, you should immediately call the emergency services.If you have anneurysms, experts don't recommend that you drive yourself or have a family member drive you to the hospital.You should call an ambulance if you are in danger.Paramedics can save your life by performing life-saving procedures on you during transit.
Step 8: You should be aware that there are two types of aortic aneurysms, abdominal and thoracic.
There are two types of aneurysms affecting the aorta, one of which can be classified into two sub-types.An abdominal aortic aneurysm occurs in the abdominal (stomach) area.This type is fatal in 80% of cases.TheTAA is a Thoracic Aortic Aneurysm.This type ofneurysm is found in the chest area.A section near the heart enlarges during aTAA.Damage to the cardiac muscles is caused by a backflow of blood.
Step 9: Take note of abdominal or back pain.
Unusually severe and sudden stomach or back pain can be a symptom.The bulging arteries cause the pain by putting pressure on other organs and muscles.Changing position will not alleviate the pain.
Step 10: Take note of nausea and vomiting.
If you experience nausea and vomiting along with abdominal or back pain, you may be experiencing a rupturing abdominal aortic aneurysm.Constipation and difficulty urinating are possible.Abdominal rigidity can occur suddenly.
Step 11: If you are dizzy, you should check it out.
Massive blood loss is the cause of dizziness.It is possible that dizziness may cause a person to faint.If you feel dizzy and have other symptoms, try to sit down or rest on the floor.
Step 12: Check your heart rate.
A sudden increase in heart rate is caused by internal blood loss and anemia.
Step 13: To see if it's clammy, feel your skin.
A symptom of an abdominal aortic aneurysm is clammy skin.The surface temperature of the skin is affected by an embolus that is formed by the abdominal aneurysm.
Step 14: If there is sudden chest pain or high-pitched breath, keep an eye on it.
The increased size of the aorta can push up against the chest area, causing pain and a high-pitched sound during breathing.It feels like a stab in the chest.It's probably not a symptom of an aneurysm.
Step 15: If it seems difficult, swallow and see.
Difficulty swallowing can be a sign of a aortic aneurysm.The enlarged aorta can make it hard to swallow.
Step 16: Speak and listen to your voice.
A hoarse voice can be caused by an enlarged artery pressing the laryngeal nerve.The hoarseness will come about suddenly, not over time as with a cold or flu.
Step 17: If you want to get a preliminary diagnosis, you should get an ultrasound.
Sound waves can be used to create pictures of parts of the body.The test can only be used to diagnose the disease.
Step 18: Try to get a computed tomography Scan.
X-rays are used to take pictures of the structures in the body.It is painless and provides more detailed pictures.If the doctor wants to rule out other diseases, it's a good choice.During the procedure, a doctor will inject a dye into your vein that will show the arteries on the computed tomograph.This can be used to perform a diagnosis.Even if you don't suspect an aneurysm, you can still have a CT Scan done.This is a great way to identify an injured body part.
Step 19: Look for a magnetic resonance exam.
This procedure uses magnets and radio waves to look at your body.It's useful for detecting, locating, and measuring aneurysms.It can create 3D cross-sliced images of the blood vessels in your brain.Any type ofneurysm can be diagnosed with an MRI.Magnetic resonance image and cerebral angiography can be performed together to support each other.Computer-generated radio waves and magnetic fields can be used to produce more detailed images of the brain's blood vessels.The procedure is painless.People who need to avoid radiation, such as pregnant women, should not use an X-ray because it does not involve any radiation.
Step 20: If you can get the angiography done, you'll be able to see the inside of the arteries.
X-rays and special dyes are used in this procedure.This procedure will show the extent and severity of the damage to the arteries.There is only one way to detect cerebral aneurysm.The procedure uses a small catheter to guide it through the circulatory system.The exact location of the brain rupturing will be determined by this procedure.A detailed image of the brain's blood vessels will be created after the dye is injected.
Step 21: Understand the cause of a cerebral infarction.
A cerebral aneurysm happens when an arteries in the brain weakens and forms into a balloon.They form in the weakest parts of the blood vessels.Bleeding in the brain will occur when the balloon breaks.Blood is toxic to the brain and can cause hemorrhagic syndrome.The subarachnoid space is the area between the brain and the skull bone.
Step 22: Know what your risk factors are.
There are several risk factors for Cerebral and Aortic Aneurysms.Some of them can't be controlled, but they can be reduced by smart lifestyle choices.Smoking increases your risk of both cerebral and Aortic Aneurysms.Blood vessels and the lining of the aorta can be damaged by high blood pressure.Your risk of cerebral aneurysms increases as you get older.As you get older, the prevalence of aneurysms increases.Inflammation can cause damage.Vasculitis can damage and scar the aorta.The aorta can be damaged by trauma.The lining of the aorta can be damaged by infections.Blood vessels can be damaged by infections of the brain.Heavy alcohol and cocaine use can cause hypertension that can lead to brain aneurysms.There is a correlation between gender and your risk for aneurysms.Women are more likely to develop brain aneurysms than men are.Cerebral blood vessels and the aorta can be weakened by certain inherited conditions.
Step 23: It's time to stop smoking.
Smoking is thought to cause the formation of brain aneurysms.Smoking is the most significant risk factor.A lot of people have a history of smoking.You can lower your risk if you quit sooner.
Step 24: Take a look at your blood pressure.
High blood pressure can cause damage to cerebral blood vessels and the lining of the aorta, which can lead to the development of aneurysms.Losing weight can lower your blood pressure.Losing 10 pounds makes a difference.Get regular exercise.30 minutes a day of moderate physical activity can lower your blood pressure.Limit the amount of alcohol that can be consumed.Do not drink more than 2 drinks per day.
Step 25: Take care of your diet.
It's important to keep your blood vessels healthy.A healthy diet can help reduce the risk of a brain injury.A balanced diet with lots of fresh fruit and vegetables, whole grains, and lean meat will help prevent the formation of aneurysms.Reduce the amount of salt in your diet.Control of blood pressure can be achieved by limiting the amount of salt in the diet to less than 2,300mg a day.You should reduce your cholesterol.Oatmeal and oats are high in fiber and will help reduce cholesterol.Apples, pear, and other fruits and vegetables contain fiber.It is possible to reduce your risk by consuming Omega 3 fish acids.It's a good idea to eat healthy fats.Saturated fats and trans fats should be avoided.Fats from fish, vegetable oils, nuts, and seeds can lower your risk.It's a good source of fat and can help lower cholesterol.
