What Are the Most Common Aneurysm Symptoms?
Aneurysms are defined as inflation of a blood vessel or the heart so that size is greatly increased and the wall of the vessel (or of the heart) is significantly stretched. Walls can weaken and the aneurysm can rupture, which when it occurs in certain parts of the body is a medical emergency and an extreme danger to the affected person. Common aneurysm symptoms will vary based on where they occur in the body, and whether or not the aneurysm has ruptured. Many think of these abnormalities occurring most often in the brain. Pre-rupture, people with a brain aneurysm could have changes in vision, weakness and/or pain in one eye, and a feeling that one side of the face is weakened or impaired. Other symptoms can include one eyelid that droops and possible dilation of that same eye’s pupil.
