What is an aneurysm? Causes, symptoms, and when to seek help

Ouadie Rhabbouron

  • Can you feel if an aneurysm is present?

    Not always. And that's what makes them difficult to detect. Some aneurysms remain   asymptomatic for years  . But when they grow larger or begin to rupture, signs may appear:

    • A sudden and intense pain  , depending on the area affected (head, chest or abdomen).
    • Blurred or double vision.
    • A feeling of dizziness or unusual fatigue.
    • An abnormal pulsation felt in the abdomen.

    What if the aneurysm ruptures?
