Unruptured Brain Aneurysm

Posted by badnaples @badnaples, Nov 22, 2021

Hello! I recently found out I have a 4mm ACOM during a CT scan, waiting CT angio appointment, question is....live life normally? OK, to travel (fly), exercise etc. Can't get answers from doc, they say all this will be covered during pre-op which is weeks away and in the meantime causing me anxiety not knowing what I should or should not do. Not sure if I have symptoms, various headaches, mild, dull, various areas of the head, but have those often and for long time, and stuffy nose so assume its sinus. Any help is appreciated, suppose to travel in 48 hours. I read all this about rupturing and frightens me. Is it something that would happen suddenly or gradually from a leak. Help! THank you.

I have advice on how to help yourself stabilize your brain aneurysm, I had a similar experience. Please contact me by private message, I will explain it to you.

My advice is maintain normal BP 126/70. Eat low salt diet. Elevate your bed to 45 degrees to sleep. Aquatic exercise to prevent blood flow into your BA. That's how I keep my BA stable in size since 2022. Every year I had MRA done at the same time. This year I had my MRA done in
7/3/24. The results are BA stable and no remarkable.
Hope this information is helpful. Take care.
