Guest guest Posted March 19, 2004 Report Share Posted March 19, 2004 Ok .. the symptoms of "mental confusion, vertigo, neck stiffness, and nausea" though they are symptoms of the beginning of an aneurysm, they are also general symptoms for a myriad of other problems. The only time you should be really worried .. is if you have unchecked high blood pressure .. the high blood pressure is what "blows out" or ruptures the blood vessels giving you a "brain bleed". An artery in the body that is blocked with plaque or fatty deposits becomes a prime area for a "blow out" as the vessel walls can only stretch so far before bursting. If your blood pressure is high, there is just too much force on the area and "kapow" .. rupture. Think of it this way .. have you ever put a nozzle on your garden hose, turned on the water, then turned off the nozzle? The pressure of the water builds up and the hose becomes hard and stiff ... it doesn't want to move very easily. If there is a weak space, or if you have not tightened the nozzle onto the hose, the water sprays out in a thin little stream. The older the hose, the bigger the hole .. the more water that comes out when there is pressure built up from blocking the hose with the nozzle.
