Some aneurysms cause pain, dizziness, and shortness of breath with minimal effort, such as climbing stairs. This, according to MedikForum, was announced by the specialists of the Cedars-Sinai Medical Center.
An aneurysm is an enlargement, swelling, or stretching of a small section of a blood vessel. A person’s aneurysm is dangerous because if it ruptures, he can die.
The portal notes that an aneurysm can occur anywhere in the body, but most often it occurs in the brain or in the arteries leading to the heart, legs and arms. Over time, its size can increase and with it the risk of its rupture increases, which leads to bleeding that can cause shock, and then death.
Most often, people with a hereditary predisposition, as well as smokers, hypertensive patients, and owners of high cholesterol become its victims. Speaking of possible symptoms, doctors warn that some aneurysms cause pain, dizziness, and shortness of breath with minimal effort, such as climbing stairs. Most do not cause any symptoms, the scientists added.
Given the “quiet” course of the pathology, the experts emphasized that the key to successful treatment of aneurysms is early diagnosis, which can be ensured by preventive examinations. In addition, it is necessary to consult with doctors if unexplained pain occurs.
