Brain health is a fundamental aspect of the well-being of the entire family. Identifying warning signs and seeking medical help quickly can prevent a tragedy. A brain aneurysm is a condition that can occur at any age, and understanding its symptoms is essential to taking action in time.
What is a brain aneurysm?
A brain aneurysm occurs when there is a weakening in the wall of a blood vessel in the brain, leading to the formation of a bubble. This bubble can remain stable or rupture, causing a brain hemorrhage. The severity of the condition depends on the location and size of the affected vessel.
When the aneurysm ruptures, internal bleeding occurs in the brain, which can be fatal or cause serious damage. However, even an unruptured aneurysm can press on brain structures, causing serious symptoms.
Headache: the main symptom
People who have survived a brain aneurysm report that one of the main signs before the rupture was an extremely intense and sudden headache. Differentiating an aneurysm from a migraine can be challenging, but some characteristics may indicate a higher risk:
Severe headache, described as the worst headache of your life;
Sudden onset and no history of migraines;
Accompanied by other neurological symptoms.
If you or someone close to you has an unusual headache, seek medical attention immediately.
