2Smoking
In addition to increasing the risk of lung cancer and emphysema, smoking may be a major risk factor for brain aneurysms. Numerous chemicals may cause damage to blood vessels over time and cause the symptoms. By quitting, you may significantly lower the likelihood. Studies have shown that men over 45 years old who smoke may reduce the risk up to 30 percent. However, it is not easy to stay away from tobacco products. You may consider using OTC stop-smoking products, such as lozenges, patches, or nicotine gum. Also, ask your doctor to find a suitable program or a prescription medication. Make sure to avoid exposing yourself to secondhand smoke as well [2].
