Neck stiffness or pain – especially when combined with other neurological symptoms – may indicate a cerebral hemorrhage or irritation of the meninges (the membranes surrounding the brain and spinal cord).
5. Sensitivity to light (photophobia)
People with a brain aneurysm may experience unusual sensitivity to light, which is often another symptom of brain irritation.
6. Epileptic seizures
A sudden seizure in a person with no history of epilepsy can be a warning sign of a serious brain problem, including a ruptured aneurysm or a cerebral hemorrhage.
7. Drooping eyelid or weakness of facial muscles
If you notice that your eyelid is starting to droop or that part of your face is numb or paralyzed, this may indicate a brain aneurysm pressing on nerves in the brain.
8. Loss of consciousness
Fainting or sudden loss of consciousness are extremely serious symptoms that may be associated with a ruptured aneurysm, leading to significant brain damage.
9. Difficulty speaking or understanding speech
Slurred speech, confusion, or difficulty understanding what others are saying may be symptoms of a neurological event, such as a stroke or a ruptured aneurysm.
10. Difficulty walking or dizziness
