An aneurysm is a silent yet potentially deadly medical condition that occurs when a weakened area of a blood vessel bulges or balloons out. If left undetected, an aneurysm can rupture, leading to severe complications, including internal bleeding, stroke, and even death. Recognizing the early warning signs can make a significant difference in seeking timely medical intervention and preventing life-threatening consequences.
What Causes an Aneurysm?
Aneurysms can develop due to various factors, including:
High Blood Pressure (Hypertension): Excessive pressure on arterial walls weakens blood vessels over time.
Atherosclerosis (Hardening of Arteries): Plaque build
