1. Sudden, Severe Headache
Often described as the “worst headache of my life,” this is one of the most common signs of a ruptured aneurysm. If you experience an explosive headache that comes on without warning, seek medical attention immediately.
2. Nausea and Vomiting
These symptoms often accompany a sudden headache and may indicate increased pressure in the skull due to bleeding or swelling caused by an aneurysm.
3. Blurred or Double Vision
A brain aneurysm pressing on the optic nerve can cause vision changes. If your vision suddenly becomes blurry or you see double, it’s time to get checked out.
