\"\"<\/p>\n

A brain aneurysm is a life-threatening and very serious disorder that can happen to anyone \u2013 especially if your arteries are being placed under unnecessary pressure, like an extremely hot day mixed with a weak spot in an artery. The symptoms show that you are at risk of developing further symptoms related to aneurysms\u2013 or worse, having them turn into something that could kill you. You should never ignore any serious symptoms that something might be wrong with your health.<\/p>\n

If you show any symptoms that we are about to go over on this list, then we would recommend that you make an immediate appointment with your doctor to find the cause of the symptoms \u2013 or in severe cases make a visit to the emergency room where the symptoms need immediate medical attention and have been persistent. Here are fifteen alarming brain aneurysm symptoms that mean you should see your doctor for medical help immediately.<\/p>\n

1. Lightheadedness<\/h3>\n

There are plenty of different things that can cause you to feel a little light in the head, and most of them are related to either the heart or the blood pressure<\/a> \u2013 this means that you should always take note if this is a symptom that you find yourself experiencing, and it\u2019s best that you get yourself to medical help if this persists, as you can sometimes pass out from light-headedness if you were to increase the pressure that you are already feeling by leaning forward or bending down with your head.<\/p>\n

Sometimes the feeling can mean that you are experiencing low blood pressure, in which case you should eat something to restore your levels to normal \u2013 but in other cases when this doesn\u2019t help then you know there\u2019s another cause that you should blame, and it could very well be due to a pending brain aneurysm \u2013 never ignore this symptom!<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/h3>\n

2. Bloodshot Eyes<\/h3>\n

A brain aneurysm<\/a> coming on will likely make you feel that your head is about to explode, or you might just feel it as a little bit of pressure that occurs behind your eyes \u2013 but there are a fair amount of cases where people experience some of the symptoms but feel nothing at all, and when a brain aneurysm occurs they were not looking at the symptoms that could have caused it.<\/p>\n

You should always look at your eyes if you are going through a migraine or headache \u2013 note whether or not your pupils are reacting normally to light (if not, you are looking at the potential of a head injury) and your eyes might also be bloodshot to go along with it \u2013 if you can\u2019t pin this down on having rubbed your eyes, then the symptom could be pointing to something that\u2019s much more severe wrong and you should make an appointment with your doctor immediately.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/h3>\n

3. Pain in Eyes<\/h3>\n

Many people who have had strokes<\/a> and lived through it have reported that the first sign that something was wrong was the fact that they were experiencing the nagging symptoms of pain behind their eyes for a while before their condition, but that they usually ignored it because they didn\u2019t think much of it at the time and went about their day as they normally would.<\/p>\n

If you are experiencing unnaturally pressure or pain in your eyes, sometimes it just means that your eyes are tired and overworked \u2013 and the best cure is going to be to take things easy for a while \u2013 but in some cases, the pain in your eyes might stick around no matter what you have tried to find relief. In cases like these, we\u2019d strongly advise that you go to your doctor: It could be the first signs of developing a migraine, or it could be pointing to something much more serious being wrong with your health that you should get looked at as soon as you possibly can.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/h3>\n

4. Blood Clots<\/h3>\n

There are a few risk factors that will put you at a higher risk of developing a blood clot at some point \u2013 and these can include obesity<\/a>, high blood pressure, taking things that thicken the blood and staying in the same position for long periods of time at once \u2013 like if you work in an office where you need to sit in front of a desk for long periods at a time or if you are a frequent traveler and spend a lot of time sitting down.<\/p>\n

If any of these factors apply to you, then you should consider speaking to your doctor about regularly taking aspirin, which can reduce the frequency of blood clots \u2013 and, you have to move around frequently in order to get the blood flowing properly. But if you feel a knot in your leg or any other part of your body \u2013 or experience numbness \u2013 this could be a clot, and this could lead to an aneurysm.<\/p>\n

\"\"5. Recurring Headache<\/h3>\n

Everyone gets a headache every now and then, and there are many things that can be the culprit that\u2019s to blame behind your headache<\/a> \u2013 these can include factors such as the fact that you might be dehydrated or the fact that your eyes have been taking too much strain; a headache can also be caused and aggravated by certain dietary factors and might disappear entirely if you remove certain elements from your diet, common culprits here are things like chocolate and coffee.<\/p>\n

Heatstroke can also be a common cause of a blinding headache, and your best cure here is to make sure that you hydrate as best you can \u2013 and of course, we would recommend that you stay out of the sun as much as possible. If you have a headache that doesn\u2019t go away, it could signal an aneurysm.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/h3>\n

6. Tiredness<\/h3>\n

If you have been feeling tired with more and more frequency then it could very well be that there are other problems with your health that require an immediate diagnosis<\/a>. Of course, this already seems like it should be obvious to most people, but you should visit your doctor immediately if you are showing constant fatigue as a symptom.<\/p>\n

There are many things that could be given the blame for being the cause behind serious and almost permanent fatigue, and these can include diabetes, having issues with your blood pressure, having problems with your circulation \u2013 or it can also point to much more serious symptoms that need to be checked out by a doctor sooner than you think, and it could even be indicative of a brain aneurysm if you can combine it with several of the symptoms that have already been mentioned on this list. Never postpone a doctor\u2019s visit if you think something is wrong!<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/h3>\n

7. Migraine<\/h3>\n

We\u2019ve already gone over some of the symptoms that could indicate an impending brain aneurysm, and you should go to the doctor for an examination especially if you are able to combine some of the symptoms on this list with each other at the same time \u2013 you should never think that a symptom is just something you can ignore: It almost always indicates that something else is wrong with your health.<\/p>\n

We\u2019ve also already mentioned that a headache can be a symptom of an impending brain aneurysm \u2013 but what about migraines<\/a>? There is a distinct difference between headaches and migraines, and with migraines come other associated symptoms like being extremely sensitive to sound and light, and migraines are more likely to have nausea as a symptom added to it \u2013 but if you are experiencing either a migraine or headache that lasts for too long, make an appointment with your doctor as soon as you can.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/h3>\n

8. Neck Pain<\/h3>\n

You should know that neck pain doesn\u2019t immediately mean that you should be running to your doctor screaming that you might have a brain aneurysm \u2013 but you should be concerned if you are experiencing neck pain that lasts for a very long time and doesn\u2019t seem to go away no matter what you try.<\/p>\n

You should also be worried if you can combine neck pain with any of the other symptoms that we\u2019ve already mentioned on this list \u2013 it could be a sign of something wrong with your health that you\u2019ll need a doctor to look at. There are many ways a brain aneurysm can result in, and a feeling of numbness and pain in the neck and muscles is just one of them \u2013 but this one is a very important sign, and means that you should get to a doctor sooner rather than later. Numbness<\/a> is a sign that should be addressed immediately.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/h3>\n

9. Slurring Speech<\/h3>\n

There are not that many reasons why someone will be slurring their speech, and if it\u2019s not a sign of intoxication<\/a> than almost all of them (especially if they occur very suddenly) mean that you should go to the emergency room immediately because you might be experiencing the advanced symptoms of either a stroke or a brain aneurysm.<\/p>\n

Even if you can\u2019t combine any of the other symptoms on this list with slurred speech, you should get yourself to a doctor immediately \u2013 this likely means that you are already having a stroke, and if you ignore this symptom it could result in the potential of your death if you are unable to reach medical attention quickly enough. The symptoms of a stroke and advanced brain aneurysm can still be treated, and you can minimize the danger and amount of damage if you seek help immediately \u2013 but you will certainly regret it if you ignore this symptom.<\/p>\n

\"\"10. Stroke<\/h3>\n

If you have a brain aneurysm that you don\u2019t know about, then the next step in this process will be a stroke \u2013 which can in some ways be likened to an electrical storm within the brain that can cause a lot of permanent damage. You should know what signs to look for if you ever see a stroke happen, and you should know that you need to get someone who is in the process of having a stroke to immediate medical attention to avoid too extensive permanent damage to the brain.<\/p>\n

Some of the symptoms of a stroke include slurred speech<\/a>, numbness and an inability to lift the arms or raise the tongue to the roof of the mouth \u2013 and these all require immediate attention by a medical professional to minimize the damage that a stroke will do to your body. And a stroke and a brain aneurysm can go hand in hand \u2013 and both of them require immediate attention from a doctor.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/h3>\n

11. Confusion<\/h3>\n

If you are experiencing a brain aneurysm then you might experience many or all of the symptoms that we have already mentioned on this list, and you might feel that your brain is affected in other ways \u2013 this can include feeling brain fogged<\/a> or feeling a fair amount of mental confusion for no apparent reason.<\/p>\n

The onset of this is more often than not sudden, and some of the symptoms on the list can be combined with this confusion \u2013 of course, usually, this confusion will not be able to be attributed to anything else such as intoxication. When you notice that you might not be thinking straight, you should make a plan and make an immediate appointment with your doctor so that they can find the underlying cause of your confusion \u2013 it could very well be related to the onset of a brain aneurysm that can be stopped if spotted early on enough.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/h3>\n

12. Numbness or Tingling<\/h3>\n

If you are going through the symptoms of a brain aneurysm then you might experience symptoms such as numbness and tingling<\/a> in your extremities \u2013 though we\u2019re not saying that this is always a sign of an impending brain aneurysm. There are many other things that can cause numbness and tingling, some of them including high blood pressure, issues with your heart, underlying problems with circulation \u2013 and sometimes more serious symptoms like an impending stroke, blood clot, or brain aneurism.<\/p>\n

You should never ignore any numbness or tingling that sticks around your body for too long \u2013 this is always better to have checked out by a doctor when it persists. If you are experiencing tingling in your extremities, you can try to massage your extremities or apply a heat pack to see if this makes you feel any better \u2013 though if not and the feeling still persists, we\u2019d suggest that you go to the emergency room immediately to find the cause.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/h3>\n

13. Changes in Mood<\/h3>\n

If you are experiencing the precursor symptoms of a brain aneurysm, you shouldn\u2019t think that the first symptoms will only show when the actual aneurysm happens \u2013 there are many symptoms that will precede the aneurysm that you should watch out for; if you had gone to a doctor with these preceding symptoms then the actual risk of it getting to a brain aneurysm will be much lower.<\/p>\n

If you can identify any sudden and aggressive changes in your mood, then it could very well be a sign that something is wrong with your heart or your blood pressure<\/a> \u2013 or it could point to the underlying danger of a brain aneurysm. You should always note these changes in your mood \u2013 and note if other people are telling you that you don\u2019t seem like yourself lately. It\u2019s never fun to hear it from someone else, but it could be a sign of something physically wrong with your health that you yourself might have missed.<\/p>\n

\"\"14. Nightmares<\/h3>\n

Changes in mood are not the only emotional symptom that you could experience if you have a brain aneurysm, you might also be suffering from other emotional symptoms such as nightmares<\/a> that are keeping you up for a great deal of the night. This can be a huge cause of concern for people \u2013 especially people who are wondering how on earth they will function the next day if they didn\u2019t get any sleep, and if you can combine nightmares, fever and night sweats with any of the other symptoms on this list then you should visit your doctor because it can be indicative of a whole range of things that might be wrong with your health and should be looked at as soon as possible.<\/p>\n

Nightmares are only one of the symptoms, and it could be something as simple as eating cheese before you go to bed \u2013 or it could mean something more serious. You should always check.<\/p>\n

<\/h3>\n

\"\"15. Bleeding<\/h3>\n

There are a lot of things that can trigger a brain aneurysm, and a lot of signs that can precede it \u2013 by now you should know about a lot of the symptoms<\/a> and have a pretty good idea of when you should get yourself to a doctor; but there are also other ways in which a brain aneurysm can affect the body, and one of these ways is differences in the way that you bleed \u2013 if you notice that you are bleeding differently than you usually would, or that the color of your blood has changed, you should make an immediate appointment with your doctor \u2013 or go to the emergency room if you can combine any of the more serious symptoms on this list with each other.<\/p>\n

If you are showing advanced signs of a brain aneurysm, you should go to the doctor immediately rather than waiting to see if any of the other symptoms occur.\r\n
