I have no symptoms but chose to have a CT scan, that insurance won't pay for, because friends died suddenly, not because they had aneurysms. When friends die suddenly in their 50s you feel your own mortality.

Wow! That certainly IS young. Is a CT scan the usual way to check for aneurysms? How else do people find out?

My ex-husband died suddenly of a burst aneurysm a few months ago, and our sons were advised to be checked for aneurysms. I hope their insurance covers a. CT scan on grounds of their being hereditary high-risk.
