What are aneurysms?
An aneurysm refers to an abnormal bulge or swelling in the wall of a blood vessel, as per Mayo Clinic. If left untreated, an aneurysm can rupture, leading to internal bleeding and potentially resulting in death. It is worth noting that some aneurysms may not display any symptoms, even if they are large in size.

Aneurysms can develop in various areas of the body, including,
1. The body's primary artery, known as the aorta (referred to as an aortic aneurysm).
2. The section of the aorta that traverses the abdominal region (known as an abdominal aortic aneurysm).
3. The segment of the aorta that passes through the chest (called a thoracic aortic aneurysm).
4. Blood vessels responsible for supplying blood to the brain (known as a brain aneurysm).
5. Blood vessels located in other regions of the body, such as the legs, groin, or neck (termed peripheral aneurysms).
What are the symptoms of aneurysms ?
According to Healthline, symptoms of aneurysms can range from pain and swelling in the affected area to more severe indications such as sudden and excruciating headaches, vision problems, nausea, vomiting and loss of consciousness, particularly in cases of a ruptured aneurysm.
Treatment of aneurysms
According to WebMD, treatment options for aneurysms typically involve surgical intervention or endovascular procedures to repair the weakened blood vessel. In cases where surgery is not feasible, medication may be prescribed to manage blood pressure and reduce the risk of rupture. Sometimes, the affected section of the artery can be removed and replaced with a synthetic graft.
Jo Lindner's untimely passing is a reminder of the importance of understanding the symptoms and seeking medical attention for potential health concerns such as aneurysms.
