Unusual pain behind or around the eyes, or stiffness and pain in the neck, may suggest pressure from an expanding aneurysm. This is often overlooked or mistaken for muscle strain.
4. Numbness or Weakness
If an aneurysm affects nerves or blood flow to the brain, it can cause numbness, weakness, or even paralysis on one side of the body. This symptom is especially dangerous and should never be ignored.
5. Difficulty Speaking or Understanding
Slurred speech, confusion, or trouble understanding others may occur if the brain is affected. These signs are similar to stroke symptoms and require urgent care.6. Chest or Back Pain
In the case of an aortic aneurysm (affecting the main artery), men may feel deep, persistent pain in the chest, abdomen, or back. The pain can be sharp or tearing and may worsen suddenly.
7. Shortness of Breath
Large aneurysms in the chest can press on the lungs or airways, causing breathing difficulties. This symptom can easily be mistaken for heart or lung problems.
8. Rapid Heart Rate or Low Bl00d Pressure
If an aneurysm ruptures, the body may go into shock. Symptoms include a fast pulse, dizziness, fainting, and a sudden drop in blood pressure. This is a medical emergency.
