WHAT IS ANEURYSM?

Aneurysm is an abnormal swelling or bulge in the wall of a blood vessel, such as an artery. It occurs when a part of the artery wall weakens and this allows it to balloon out or widen.

Although the cause of aneurysm is unknown, experts suggest that some people are born with it and can be hereditary.

According to the American Heart Association, a family history of aneurysm may increase its risk. Other factors like high blood pressure, high cholesterol and tobacco use can increase the risk as well.

An angiogram, CT scan or an ultrasound test can diagnose it. Different types of aneurysms include abdominal aortic aneurysms (AAA), cerebral aneurysms, common iliac artery aneurysms and femoral and popliteal artery aneurysms.

SYMPTOMS OF ANEURYSM

There might not be any symptoms of aneurysms, especially as this condition develops over the years. The symptoms could vary depending on the location of the aneurysm. Here are the symptoms based on the site of the aneurysms.

  • Headache
  • Pain in abdomen or back
  • Pulsating abdominal mass
  • Blue coloration (cyanosis) of lower extremities
  • Dizziness
  • Vision changes
  • Confusion
  • Fatigue
  • Hoarseness
  • Difficulty swallowing
  • High-pitched breathing sound
  • Swelling in the neck
  • Chest or upper back pain
  • Nausea and vomiting
  • Sense of impending doom
  • Shock (low blood pressure, rapid heart rate, clammy skin, decreased awareness)

PREVENTIVE MEASURES FOR ANEURYSM

If you’ve been diagnosed with an aneurysm then consult your doctor to monitor any chances to swelling. It can become a medical emergency if you recognise the symptoms of an aneurysm.

Routine ultrasound procedures should be conducted when symptoms are recognised. Steps such as quitting smoking, controlling blood sugar if you’re a diabetic, losing weight if you’re obese and controlling dietary fat intake can be useful preventive measures.

In many cases, once an aneurysm is diagnosed, the patient could be surgery – aneurysm open repair and endovascular aneurysm repair (EVAR).
