Sarahjo; I had a 6mm aneurysm coiled 3 months ago. I had asked my neurosurgeon at UCSF
(rated #3 for neurosurgery in the U.S. based on U.S, News and World Report's annual rankings)
about any limitations after the coiling procedure and he said there were no restrictions. But I was told 6 months prior to having the aneurysm coiled that the most important thing was to keep my blood pressure below 130 and not to do anything that puts my head upside-down, both which add pressure to the aneurysm and could cause it to leak out.

That’s great info! I’m sure everyone is different, but this at least makes me fell hopeful. Thank you. I found out last Friday and then went into the weekend without even a chance to talk to anyone. I’ve been pretty anxious - which I’m sure is doing wonders for my BP!
