A brain aneurysm rupture is a serious, life threatening situation.
Warning Signs:
· Severe “Thunderclap” sudden-onset headache – the worst headache ever
· Neck pain and/or stiffness in the neck accompanied by severe headache
· Nausea, sick feeling stomach and/or dizziness
· Recent bad headaches – not as bad as a “thunderclap” but worse and more frequent than a regular headache
If a "thunderclap headache" happens to you or someone you are with seek medical attention immediately. With a rupture every second counts.
