Hello Anonymous,

Are you asking if having a brain aneurysm causes you to lose good judgement, like waking into traffic, or not being aware of what you are doing, like yelling inappropriately at another person?

Anonymous, I am not aware of a brain aneurysm causing a change in judgement or awareness of one's behavior. Any further concerns should be discussed with your physician.

Regards,
Maryann

Hello Anonymous,

A brain aneurysm is a bulge or ballooning in a blood vessel in the brain.

An unruptured brain aneurysm may produce no symptoms, particularly if it's small. However, a large unruptured aneurysm may press on brain tissues and nerves, possibly causing pain above and behind an eye, a dilated pupil, change in vision or double vision, numbness, weakness or paralysis of one side of the face, and a drooping eyelid.

In some cases, an aneurysm may leak a slight amount of blood and this will cause a sudden and extremely severe headache.

A brain aneurysm can leak or rupture, causing bleeding into the brain. A sudden, severe headache is the key symptom of a ruptured aneurysm.

Anonymous, if a person experiences the mentioned symptoms and a sudden change in mental status or awareness, trouble walking or dizziness, sudden weakness and numbness, and sensitivity to light, he or she must seek medical attention immediately.

Regards,
Maryann
