Diagnose-Me: Condition: Aneurysm / Rupture

A cerebral aneurysm may cause symptoms ranging from headaches, drowsiness, neck stiffness, nausea and vomiting to more severe symptoms such as mental confusion, vertigo (dizziness) and loss of consciousness.

Causes of abdominal/aortic aneurysms include:
Hardening of the arteries (atherosclerosis) weakens artery walls
High blood pressure (hypertension) speeds up damage to blood vessel walls
Disease, such as diabetes, syphilis and Marfan's syndrome or Turner's Syndrome
Injury
Congenital defects, such as an inherited weakness in the blood vessel wall
Heredity
Nutritional: Low potassium and copper intake
