“The worst headache of my life”

Headaches are typically the first and foremost symptom, according to the Brain Aneurysm Foundation. Keep in mind, not everyone experiences all of the signs. However, headaches, nausea, stiff neck, blurred vision, and sensitivity to light are the most common. If you experience them, call an ambulance instead of having someone drive you to the hospital. Ruptured aneurysms are high-stress situations where time is of the essence, and first responders may need to begin life-saving procedures before the patient could reach the hospital.
