BY: CHESKA

A brain aneurysm occurs when a weak spot in your arterial wall of the brain which carries oxygenated blood bulges and fills with blood. It is a life-threatening condition that can affect a person at any age. If a brain aneurysm burst. It’s an emergency situation that can result in stroke, brain damage, and even death if not treated immediately.

Most brain aneurysms do not rupture or make any symptoms, and these aneurysm are often detected during test for other conditions.

According to study published in the journal of the American Heart Association (AHA), there are  things that may trigger the cause of ruptured aneurysm, they listed eight factors that may increase the risk.

The lead author of the study from the University of Medical Center in Netherlands, stated:

“All of the triggers induce a sudden and short increase in blood pressure, which seems a possible common cause for aneurysmal rupture”

#1 Drinking coffee

For those people with weakened blood vessel wall in the brain, drinking coffee is not a good idea. It is revealed that consuming coffee temporarily increase the risk of rupturing a brain aneurysm and suffering stroke,because  it increases the blood pressure that may cause arterial wall to rupture.

#2 Strenuous Physical Exercise

Despite the fact that physical exercise plays a very important role in our health, weight training that lead leads to extreme exertion such as heavy weight-lifting, straining and forceful exercise may increase the blood pressure which may lead to burst aneurysm.

#3 Blowing The Nose

#4 Sexual Intercourse

Love making leads to an increased blood pressure which may cause a brain bleed because the pleasure centers in the brain become active. The best way to prevent it is to manage high blood pressure, and those people with aneurysm should abstain from sex.

#5 Straining the toilet

According to studies, straining to excrete feces may seven-times increase the risk of ruptured aneurysm. Doctors usually prescribe laxative to those constipated patients with brain aneurysm to lower the risk of subarachnoid hemorrhage.

#6 Drinking Cola

Due to its caffeine content,consuming cola or carbonated drinks has been linked to having  a ruptured aneurysm. The fact is, there is an increased risk of rupture among those who consumed carbonated drinks in the hour before their aneurysm rupture.

Sadly, people tend to drink it more often than coffee, that’s why drinking cola may increase caffeine intake more.

#7 Surprise Or Being Startled

Being shocked or surprised may also trigger a ruptured aneurysm. So if you have been diagnosed with aneurysm or if it runs in the family, avoiding scary movies may not hurt.
