Scientists identify 8 aneurysm brain triggers

LOS ANGELES

An aneurysm is defined as a bulging, weak area in the wall of an artery. While some people are pre-disposed to them, researchers reveal factors that could contribute to rupturing a brain aneurysm:

  • Coffee consumption


  • Vigorous physical exercise


  • Blowing your nose


  • Sexual intercourse


  • Straining to defecate


  • Cola consumption


  • Being startled


  • Being angry

All are thought to cause a sudden increase in blood pressure, but experts say avoiding most triggers just isn't realistic.
