A
brain aneurysm occurs when part of an artery wall weakens and swells.
Symptoms include:
- Sudden, severe headache that is different from past headaches
- Severe neck pain
- Blurred vision
- Confusion or loss of consciousness
- Sensitivity to light
- Nausea with vomiting
- Seizures
If you or a loved one experiences these symptoms, call 911 immediately. If an aneurysm ruptures, it is a life-threatening medical emergency.
