Management of brain aneurysms

Having a brain aneurysm is like living with a small pump in your head. 

A cerebral aneurysm feels like a weak spot on a balloon, elongated and thin. This condition is called a weak spot in the blood vessel wall in the brain. 

This bump or bump in a blood vessel usually looks like a berry hanging from a stem. In addition, the lump can rupture or seep into the brain, causing a type of hemorrhagic stroke. 

Brain aneurysms can occur in people of any age. However, it is most common in adults between the ages of 30 and 60. Also, brain aneurysms are more common in women than in men.

Management of brain aneurysms

Brain aneurysm management is essential to save yourself from extreme situations. Symptoms of a brain aneurysm depend on whether it ruptures. Most cerebral aneurysms show no signs of rupture or enlargement. 

In addition, unruptured aneurysms can compress tissues and nerves in the brain. Symptoms it may cause include: 

• Changes in vision
• Seizures
• Numbness in the head or face
• Pain above and behind the eyes
• Neck pain
• Nausea and vomiting

However, when an aneurysm ruptures, it always has a sudden or extreme headache. 

This sudden and severe headache is the main symptom of a ruptured cerebral aneurysm. This headache is usually described as the worst headache a person has ever experienced. 

In addition to headaches, other common symptoms of brain aneurysms are: 

• Loss of consciousness
• Stiff neck
• Sensitive to light
• Double vision
• Seizures

If you experience any of these aneurysm symptoms, you should consult your doctor immediately. However, most brain aneurysms are not found until they are ruptured or discovered on medical imaging tests. 

Diagnosis of a brain aneurysm 

Controlling the symptoms of a brain aneurysm is essential. The first step in diagnosing a brain aneurysm is evaluating your risk factors. An evaluation of your risk factors will help determine the cause of the brain aneurysm. 

The cause of a brain aneurysm is unknown, but several factors will increase your risk. These factors can cause weakness in the arterial wall.

If your aneurysm has not ruptured, your doctor may recommend certain medications. In addition, lifestyle changes can also help reduce the chance of loss. 

• Do not use cocaine or other stimulant drugs. 
• Quit smoking and alcohol. 
• Change your diet to lower blood pressure. 
• Limit caffeine intake because it can suddenly increase blood pressure. 
• Avoid lifting heavy objects as it can also increase blood pressure.
