Hi there,
Thanks for your query.
I appreciate your concerns.
You have not mentioned the site of aneurysm. However, there is a danger of the aneurym bursting with massive bleeding and death.
Hence, you should ideally undergo surgery for its removal/repair at the earliest. Keep your blood pressure under check. There is no other precaution required. But, if the aneurysm is in the abdomen, avoid blunt injury to the abdomen.
If you are satisfied with the reply, please do give a 5-star rating, so as to encourage all doctors- who are dedicating their services to providing free advice.
Take care,
Col (Dr.) Rakesh Karanwal
