Tips for preventing aneurysms

You can lower your risk of aneurysm formation and rupture and stroke with these lifestyle changes:

  • Stop smoking — Smoking is the greatest risk factor of all in aneurysm rupture and is a key risk factor for stroke.
  • Control high blood pressure — Persistently high blood pressure (hypertension) stresses the artery walls.
  • Avoid drug abuse — Cocaine is the worst offender, narrowing blood vessels and increasing blood pressure and heart rate.
  • Avoid alcohol abuse — Moderate to high alcohol consumption — binge drinking in particular — is associated with brain hemorrhage.
