My 6 year old had one while back. Was told he wasn't going to make it, can't explain what I felt that day. Week later he held strong after surgery and drainage. That led to them finding a brain tumor on pineal gland. Happy to say after so much my lil man pulled through. 3years healthy since 🙏
My sister had an aneurysm early one morning, she was able to survive for 5 days before being operated on and survived. However, after 3 months she had another one and was operated on again. It hss been 1 year since, and she is still here. I give all glory to God who worked through the doctors. I still believe that it was God both times.
If God played a role in saving her life then what do you think who caused those incidents of aneurysm ? Of course God because He controls everything in this world
Lost my wife to a brain aneurysm in 1991. She was 39 and healthy. I was working in the Middle East as a Military contractor and wasn't with her when she collapsed. I think about her every day.
My biggest fear. I have a coworker who I was sitting right beside in a meeting, and she suddenly plopped down out of nowhere and started “snoring.” I thought she just fell asleep, apparently she had an aneurysm. We had to call 911. Thankfully she survived. This is one of my biggest fears.
Dont worry...youll be okay regardless..okay...lets not fear...these natural things...jyst enjoy yourself..make sure youre eating the rught things...sleep well...and dont take things so seriously.. because were not doing ourselves any favors having these fears...yes its reasonable .i understand trust me living woth PCOS and finding out i had it definitely invoked strong feelings of stress and fear...but come a year later im learning to live with the condition...still have fear...but owning it makes it easier..

I worry so much as well. My mother had a aortic aneurysm. Because I’m in the medical field I was able to get her to a vascular surgeon in a teaching area. Her doctor had said that she did have an aneurism which was 2 cm. In women, the aneurism will bust at 3 to 4. It did bust but her life was spared. My father he actually died of an abdominal aneurysm. It was terrible. Lastly, my father‘s late mother was found in the bathtub dead. She had suffered an aneurism in her brain. I get such bad migraines and especially lately. It is on both sides of my family. I’ve told the doctor so many times to check for it but that never comes to fruition. Take care of yourself!
Same thing happened to my dad but in his sleep. I woke my mom because I heard him snoring loud. He had an aneurysm. Doctors said he wouldn't make it but he did. Fast forward 20 years he is more alive than ever.
I don't know if anyone wants to read this, but my brain aneurysm burst on August 18, 2018. I was 38 years old at the time and my youngest son was 10. I was a single mother. More than 70 percent of brain aneurysm victims die within 30 minutes. I survived but I was severely handicapped. Because the bleeding was large and occurred in the left hemisphere of the brain, I became completely dependent on care. I had to relearn basic activities such as speaking and walking and it took me years. Now, more than 6 years later, I feel like I can live a little again. I will never be the old me again, but I have been able to relearn the basic skills. A brain disorder is one of the worst things that can happen to you. An aneurysm is often congenital and can be triggered by stress. Life can really be very different from one moment to the next. I had never heard of an aneurysm. Or realize how bad traumatic brain injuries really are. Live healthy. Avoid stress. Love. Appreciate the little things in life. Be good to everyone, people and animals. 
I’m glad you are still with us my birthday is august 16 my mother aneurysm burst August 19 and passed away August 31 2023 my father passed away November 13 2023 my birthday is coming but I can’t stand the month of August anymore please pray for me my heart is broken

11 years ago my mum walked up the stairs saying her head and neck were hurting and within seconds she was screaming in pain and passed out on our landing because she had an aneurysm. I realise that I’m very lucky to still have her here, sorry to all that have lost
This hit close to home. 18 years ago my wife was breastfeeding our 4 week old daughter, had a bad headache for a couple of days but could only take Tylenol. Went to ER and 30 min later she was gone. Nothing we could’ve done. Hug those you love everyday. Thank you Dr Berg for your valuable advice encouraging healthier living.
My mom had a brain aneurysm back in 2006. I was 26 at the time I will never forget that day. I was talking to her I was off from work that day which I was never off from work on the weekend. When I was talking to her she said I’m having the worse headache ever and she put her head down with her hand on her forehead. I was still talking to her but she wasn’t answering me. I called her name I got down on the floor to look at her because she had her head down so I couldn’t see her face, and her eyes were wide opened and she has a glossy stare. I called the ambulance and she ended up being in the hospital for a month. She was paralyzed on one side, but with therapy but she was able regain strength to be able to move that side. It was just me, my mom and my daughter at home that day and had I been at work my mom would have died. My mom was a heavy smoker and smoked since I been alive all the way up until she had the aneurysm so I always thought that the smoking caused it. If she has a headache she’s going to the hospital because she said since the aneurysm she hasn’t had any headaches and she hasn’t smoked any cigarettes since.
My mom died from a brain aneurysm at 52. I knew she had a headache and had appt to see a Dr. She passed in her sleep and one of the saving graces of that horrible experience was my last words to her. “I love you.”
@@junation7619 she had a very strong faith. When she died I went to pick up my sister. We sat on her bed holding hands and we were crying. All of the sudden we both stopped, looked at each other and said wow did you feel that!? I felt my mothers embrace and heard”everything is going to be ok” my sister smelled her perfume. After my full conversion from being a skeptic I know that was the Holy Spirit. Thanks for the prayers. Heaven is REAL. It’s banquet table is open to every soul willing to sit with every other soul. No room for grudges, or attachments. Peace to you this day.
My grandmother had a triple aneurysm. One burst before she got to the hospital. She went through therapy after surgery and ended up living another 20+ years.
@@JadenJackson-x1c She struggled with words after her aneurysms and the surgery to fix the damage but she was able to drive and lived independently up until the last year or two of her life.
@user-mx5vr5ce7m She had trouble getting the right words to come out, although she knew what she meant. It was very frustrating for her. She would often go through all her daughter's names before coming to my name (her granddaughter who lived closest to her and spent the most time with her of all the grandkids.) She did drive, live on her own, and was very active until the last couple of years of her life.
Back in high school, i remember my friend's mom suddenly pass away. My friend went to school the very next day, crying nonstop. She had told us that her mom passed away from an aneurysm. She said her mom had this most painful headache, so her mom decided to lay down for a bit. My friend's last words to her mom was, "mom what's for dinner?" Not knowing her mom would pass away hours later. They did eventually rush her mom to the hospital, but it was already too late. Sadly, she lost her mom that very night. I will never forget it. This happened 8 years ago..i hope she's doing fine now.
That's very sad! Her mother could have probably been saved. That's exactly what happened to my own mother when hers ruptured. She had a massive migraine and she went to lay down. She said that she felt her back was becoming paralyzed. Luckily I was there to call 911. If not, she would not have been able to do it herself. Luckily she survived without any neurological damage. It hit my heart reading your comment. Please never mention this to your friend btw. It's best that she doesn't know.
My thumb extends to the edge of my hand. Age 63. I had an anuerism two years ago, passed out cold. Woke up on the floor, crawled to my phone, got in an ambulance, became conscious a couple days later in the ICU with a drain and a titanium web in my head. Complete recovery and no neurological issues now. Very lucky and haven’t had a “bad day” since! Glad to hear of some preventative items Doctor Berg, thank you so much! 👍
My brother was on a phone call and just slumped down. It was so quick. A heart attack they said.....so young and in an instant he was gone...... RIP big bro.....we miss you......
My brother had 2 brain aneurysms with rupture and thank God he healed and it’s back to his old self now. He was in an induced coma for 1 month. He is one of the lucky ones I thank God every day for saving him. Hugs to all who have been through this.
@@Wisethinker527 no, he is only 33 years old without any health problems. He doesn’t drink alcohol or does d r u gs. No cause other than it supposedly runs in the family.
Our neighbor had the most beautiful, sweet and vivacious wife. They went out shopping for presents a week before Christmas. When they came home she had been complaining of a bad headache, went to change her clothes, the husband heard her say, "oh!" And she fell over on the bed dead! She had had an aneurysm in her brain. She was only 40 years old. I'll never forget her kind, sweet smile. I felt so bad for their family that she passed right before Christmas 😢

@@kristycannon7923health just like life is really unpredictable sometimes. Those with bad lifestyle and food habits sometimes don’t get any troubles whereas those with healthy food habits sometimes get such issues.
My wife woke up suffering from the worst headache she'd ever had... Against advice she didn't go to the ER and pounded a few ibuprofen... 6 pm that day she was gone...
Had a small lump on my temple my mom noticed and advised me to see a doctor…I seen 2 different doctors that made light of it, and so I didn’t make much of it. Fast forward about a year later the lump grew a bit bigger and once again mom noticed it and advised the same. I listened and seen a doctor who told me it was an anuresym…I was shocked and scared to say the least. I had surgery on 02/28/24 and it was removed, no complications, thank God for that 3rd doctor, but mostly thanks for my concerned mama…hey grown people you’re never too grown up to listen to your parents, sometimes their advice could save your life!!!
My thumb can spread beyond the palm edge, but I was diagnosed with a cerebral aneurysm in 2005. Nearly 20 yrs later my latest MRI showed no change still the same size 3.5mm, too small to consider surgery. I have learnt to ignore the fact that I have one and go with the flow of life. I keep my blood pressure in check and look after myself and if I ever get the ‘worst headache’ of my life I even know which hospital to go and so do all my family members. I don’t stress over it because my philosophy of life is when it’s your turn to go, you go, and prevention and monitoring is better than cure!
@@taniamaclow407 No I don’t and it only goes past in one hand the other one reach the palm but does not overextend it, but maybe it is because I have arthritis in that hand in the thumb joint. I just tried it as I have a cerebral aneurysm whether it is a coincidence or not who knows!
My sister and my aunt passed of the same type of cerebral aneurysms age 21 and age 8 . My mom was diagnosed with two inoperable ones about 20 years later and my mom’s grandfather died of one in the 1960’s . They can definitely be hereditary. If you have children they should be checked as well .
@@linaazmiin7479 It was diagnosed in 2005 via an MRI and over the years I have had a few MRI’s to see if it was still the same size. Mine is 3.5mm and the most common place for an aneurysm ‘Circle of Willis’ and has never changed size so they do not do anything about one unless it is over 7mm usually. I have had a total of six MRI’s since then and I am under a neurologist.
Getting teary eyed reading the comments. I know I’m fortunate to be alive and have my motor skills. There are various types of aneurysms. I found that out when I suffered a rare kind when a blood vessel burst on my lower right side of brain at 42. There were no signs b4 and I was healthy. I woke up with the worst headache. I still worked stupidly. Next day I was having lower back pain. I don’t get migraines and should have taken it as a sign that something was severely wrong and I didn’t. I was agitated and short tempered which isn’t me. Another sign something was severely wrong. I walked around like that for 7 days! I only went to the dr after a coworker told me my face looked different. Come to find out by then I was beginning to show signs of a stroke. I had minimally invasive surgery with little brain swelling. The bleeding was seeping down my spine which caused the back pain. I was out the hospital in 4 days. I’m still quite sensitive to bright lights but I’m alive & well 2 years later 🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾
My mom died of an aneurysm back in 2000 when she was only 52 years old...she was unhealthy, ate tons of fried foods and smoked for decades. She was getting excessive headaches and had an appointment to see a doctor one morning in late January of 2000, she had her bathwater running in the master bath, went to make her coffee in the kitchen and was walking on her way back to the bath when the aneurysm happened, coroner said she was dead before she even hit the floor. My uncle who was a truck driver couldn't reach her by phone for a couple of days and went to check on her, she had been passed for a couple of days, she was single. She struggled with weight her entire life. She was the main reason that kept my awareness of my health seeing her struggles and what eating the wrong foods will do to you. She was the sacrifice to my great health, I'm 53 years old now, a year older than her and in the best shape and health of my life. It's been 24 long years since I've seen and hugged my mom......I still miss her dearly, she was the best mom I could have ever had, she was just horrible at being healthy, she was a single mom and lived for me, but when I moved out and started my own life, I think she spiraled and ate from grief and sadness which ultimately took her out. It feels weird to be a year older than a passed parent, it makes you feel like you are on bonus years. Advice to anyone who needs it, don't live for other things, live for yourself and enjoy life, we only have one...live it well! And yes, I can extend my thumb past the edge of my hand so it's probably a really good thing that I take care of myself since it appears my genetics are prone to aneurysms.
My brother had an aneurism burst in his right frontal lobe when he was just under forty. He survived with brain damage. Losing the right frontal lobe changed his personality. All the medication did all kinds of damage. I wish I'd known then what I've learned since that time of his life. He was a great, beautiful person. Please keep educating❣🙏🏻👏

I was in great shape, 66 years old, going to the gym five days a week, running bleachers at the local football field, riding my bike 50 to 100 miles a month. I was preparing for a difficult hunt In Alaska in 2022. My best friend encouraged me to do a body scan at a local doctor’s office just to make sure everything was OK before this strenuous hunt . After my scan the Dr immediately sat me down and told me to find a cardiologist asap as I had a 6 cm aortic aneurysm . I located a great cardiologist in Fort Worth, Texas, who could not believe I was still alive. They got me on the operating table quickly for open-heart surgery.. I had no symptoms. My health was great. It is a silent killer. The company is called Via Scan in Irving Texas, $600 back then. I encourage everybody to do this scan. Normal blood test and basic check ups do not tell you what’s going on with your body.
A body scan …only 600? A relative was told by a medical doctor that she needed only a pelvis CT scan … and the. Resulting report was so ambiguous. “Appendix non identified” partially collapsed lung “ days after the scan my relative was called by a nurse saying “ results normal” and the phone. My relative called back to request a hard copy of a report of the results and found out about the appendix and lung. Few weeks later she started having problems in her through when she swallowed food…and her spine cracks when she takes deep breaths and has back pain and neck pain. Crazy . Doctors seem to not love their profession …. You’re lucky if you get a 30 min space to listen and talk . Insurance refuses to cover and she owes 900 bucks. This is recent.
Could you please tell me the name of the cardiologist in DFW you went to or did Via Scan refer you to one? I'm in the DFW area and this would be great information for a family member with heart disease. Thank you!
Even if what they see is partially true they are only witnessing early stages of the bardo, so we still have no idea what's beyond that unless there is any truth in the Tibetan book of the dead. It's all speculation unless you can somehow metaphysically witness what happens further after immediate death. Buddhism claims to have done this through deep meditative states... but even if there is some truth to their testimony, we still wouldn't know how much of it us true.
My wife died many years ago from a cerebral aneurysm. She was 40 years, never smoked, drank minimal alcohol, was not overweight, ate a balanced diet and took regular exercise. She had been off colour with some headaches. She saw the doctor (who said she just had a virus) 3 days before the aneurysm burst leading to brain hemorrhage. The paramedics were there within minutes but it was too late then although she had 4 days on life support. I believe there is also a genetic aspect to predisposition to aneurysms.
The doctor told my parents who lost my brother when he was sixteen by aneurysm, "He most likely hit his head badly when he was younger." That sent my mom into deep depression. Not only did she lose her son, but she blamed herself for his death. When my brother was around three, he ran into a ladder which then landed on him. It took a good ten years for her to get over his death.
so so sad! I am sorry this happened to your lovely young wife! YES! There is a genetic aspect to it. I have an aunt I never met who died at age 26 from an anurism. She also had Graves disease and could not shut her eyes. This happened in the early 50's -
You are absolutely correct about a genetic correlation. My aunt age 21 and my sister age 8 died 2 years apart from identical cerebral aneurysms , neither had any symptoms beforehand, this was in 1976 & 1978 . About 20 years later my mom was diagnosed with two that are inoperable. My mom’s grandfather also died of one in the 1960’s . My brother and I were checked in ‘78 and a few more times since then and have been ok .
We lost my 17 about to turn 18 little sister three years ago exactly yesterday. 😢 it was so sudden the family was out to dinner celebrating her graduation that was in a few days, when she suddenly said she was going to the car because he had a stomach ache, after seeing she didn’t return after a couple minutes my cousin went to check on her and she found her in her seat with her seatbelt on, she thought she was playing being asleep then she realized she had peed herself and wasn’t responding. We called an ambulance and they took her to the nearest hospital where they then flew her to Seattle where they did many tests where they found she has a brain aneurysm and she was pronounced brain dead. 😢three days later she was disconnected. It was so sad loosing her so suddenly right before her graduation and her 18 th b day, she was so excited to graduate and even had. Job lined up at the bank near our home. All I can say is life is so fragile hug and love your loved ones. We never know when it could be our last. I miss you little sister fly high with our creator, for ever loved❤️
@@JustaKarenDiscoveredTheIntrnet no signs she would never complain of headaches she was a pretty healthy girl was in sports, I don’t know what could have caused it doctors say she could of been born with it and it eventually ruptured. 😢
I had aneurysm 14 years ago,headache everyday all day took a lot of paracetamol thinking it was just a migraine ,till my jaw and tingling on my right face and lots of symptoms I been feeling not knowing I had aneurysm,took seeing lots of doctors still cannot find what was wrong until I was sent to a neurologist even the neurologist cannot see what was wrong she asked me to do MRI that’s when they found out,straight to the surgery no more waiting it’s about to burst,thanks God and my guardian angels I’m still here 🙏I am now 63 years old my aneurysm was a cerebral frontal lobe.
In 2019, I had a mild traumatic brain injury and ended up with persistent post concussion syndrome. They did a brain MRI in 2020 and found an aneurysm that was high risk for rupture. When my doctor said only 1 out of 2 people whose aneurysms rupture survive, I said what can we do. They went in through my groin, found that I actually had 4 aneurysms in my brain that were thankfully close together, so they inserted a flow diversion pipeline (metal sort of mesh tube) in my artery to cut off the blood flow to those bulging areas of my arteries. Within 2 years all aneurysms were completely gone praise God. Advice I got on prevention was resveratrol and exercise.
My aunt died at 21 from one that ruptured then 2 years almost to the day later my 8 year old sister died of one as well , my mom was diagnosed with two twenty years later but was told they were too risky to operate on . She is still with us at 81 thankfully.
Yes we praise God fr his help thru medical science , good Drs, improved medical technology etc. We are thankful for such things but we don't give things our praise. We are wiser than that
My Mom suffered a double rupture in 1994. She woke up with a terrible headache and collapsed. She went through a 9 hour surgery and survived, thank God. Mom went to heaven in 2020, six days shy of her 95th birthday.
My mom has one Aug 24 it was the most normal day ever she went down to sleep and later on I came in to her ‘snoring’ and immediately called 911 thankfully she to the hospital in time and she’s here but still recovering in the hospital all glory to the man above !
My wife had emergency surgery to her upper aortic dissection last November. She complained of severe back pains along the spine area, and we had no idea what it was until the doctors at ER scanned her. Her aorta is now replaced with a graft and as of April this year her heart size and function has returned to normal. However, as a complication, she suffered a minor stroke on her left side and her eyesight is not clear due to an infarction in her brain that occurred during her surgery. She now needs physiotherapy but can already walk but aided. Her kidneys at first did not function properly so had to use dialysis until they functioned nicely again. Cognitive wise, she gets bouts of mental block even when around people and her responses take a second slower than usual. Which is why I found she is quieter now than before, although she can talk and laugh and smile etc. But the moment the doctors tols me they had to conduct the surgery immediately my world fell apart, as it was life threatening. She spent 3 months in hospital and it's not something I'd like to go through again. Apparently this affects the women in her family: her maternal grandmother and aunt died due to this, but she managed to survive, while a couple of her female cousins are also at risk. Her doctors were amazed at her fighting spirit since ICU, I believe God gave her another lease of life. Now she can go for lengthy walks out in the hot sun and not complain about headache, dizziness, migraine, fainting, or even any pains in her back unlike before when she had to take painkillers just after a short walk because she gets nasty pains in her head and has to sleep to kill the psin off. I pray my wife continues to recover and enjoy life in full swing and happiness. A shout out to her doctors and therapists at Singapore General Hospital for their amazing work. ❤

I had an aneurysm rupture about 4 or 5 years ago. I recovered in a few weeks. I currently have one or two still in my brain but they don’t negatively affect me. Life’s been good. 😊
I was just diagnosed with a 3mm brain aneurysm last week. I went into the ER on 6/2 with what I thought was a stroke. It turned out to be dehydration/vertigo but they discovered the brain aneurysm through the CT scan. I saw a neurosurgeon and he said there is a less than 1% chance it will rupture. I am having an MRA done in December, hoping it doesn’t get any larger and remains at 3mm. I’m definitely scared and trying to make the necessary changes. Thank you for the video Dr. Berg.
I just lost my uncle an hour ago bec of aneurysm and were just had a short talk this morning before his operation and hes lively and i told him not to be afraid bec hes doctor will take care of him we just need to pray
My dad currently has an abdominal aortic aneurysm that is dilated to 7 cm. It was found by accident in 2016 when it was still quite small, and has been monitored ever since by ultrasound and CT scans. Due to the shape and location of his aneurysm, an endograft is not possible, so he has been given two options, surgery that may lead to other serious health risks or leave it. Yesterday was my dad’s 87th birthday, he asked for a family gathering and announced that he is going to leave it.
I have what is called an AVM (artero venus malformation) in my lower pelvis, 6.5 x 3.4. Balooning bigger each 2nd year I have a CT scan. Too big to do anything about. I wear a medic alert bracelet as it sits close to my appendix and Ill die if they open me up the normal way. Wish there was more info out there about it.
@@peaceandlove544 he decided to not do the surgery due to too many risks after the surgery, especially the possibility of reduced circulation to his legs that could lead to amputation of his foot or feet. He had a triple bypass on his heart 9 years ago so the circulation in his legs has already been compromised due to the veins that were removed from his legs and used on his heart. At this time, the aneurysm has grown to a point where it could rupture at anytime. He is taking everything one day at a time. I helped him plant a garden so he can spend his time doing something that he loves and hopefully he will make it to see his next great grandchild that is due to arrive in December. ❤️
Dr Berg, thank you for highlighting the significance of copper in aneurysms. I developed a tiny aneurysm in my brain 20-something years ago. Researching aneurysms then, I discovered that copper was important in maintaining collagen, which is what blood vessels are mostly made of. Ever since I've been trying to regularly consume copper-containing foods, particularly liver and sesame seeds. Vitamin C is also vital, which poses a bit of a dilemma. Vit C is somewhat antagonistic to copper, so it's best to consume the two nutrients at separate times. It's also a good idea to consume collagen regularly as bone broth.
You are the first to mention the influence of zinc and copper. Taking too much zinc can lead to a mechanism where copper absorption is inhibited. Therefore, it's crucial not to consume excessive amounts of zinc. Thank you.
I survived a berry aneurysm in 1995. I had high blood pressure and was lifting weights at the time. I can’t tell you how many medical people over the years have reviewed my case and told me there was almost no chance that I would’ve made it to, let alone through, surgery without some function loss, as my aneurysm ruptured during the procedure.
Berry aneurysms killed my aunt at 21 and my little sister at age 8 . It’s nice to hear of someone that survived one . Twenty years later my mom was diagnosed with two that are inoperable but she is still with us at 81 . If you have children please consider getting them checked as they can definitely be hereditary. My great grandfather on my moms side died of one in the 1960’s as well .
I’ve had 2 brain aneurysms operated on - cranial surgery + endo vascular to clip + coil. Found out through post coital fainting. I have to be very careful with lots of things but hey I’m still here + LoveLife. One thing I don’t agree with in your video is the exercise component - you shouldn’t raise your heartbeat. I do QiGong, meditation, gardening + walking. Most people die of brain aneurysms so I’m very Lucky + Blessed !
@@parimalaanbalagan9549 It's the adaptations that the body does to handle more future exercise, that is the healthy part of exercise. The trick is to exercise enough to need some body adaptations (strengthening) to handle more exercise, but not to the point your body cannot handle adapting to it. For some people it only takes a tiny bit of exertion, to max out what adaptive gains they can make. Especially at first. Pretty sure Dr Berg is advocating for this and not over exercising, beyond what you can gain adaptation to.
Well the thing with exercise is that it doesn’t constrict your blood vessels so you’re getting enough oxygen in your blood/ body I think exercise is good as long as you don’t have the immediate headache symptoms etc.
@@parimalaanbalagan9549the person is doing very low impact exercises. It will raise the heart rate, but minimally. Tai chi is another great low impact exercise.
My friend died from this. Saw him that day and two days later, be was gone. I remember going to Walgreens with him to get some painkillers because he had a headache and floaters in his eye. I didn't think anything if it. This happened in 2018. I still think about it today
I m very healthy no cholestrol and very often migraine From work tiredness and stress I got hemorragic stroke Unconscious pretty long time And now i m high function stroke survivor
Mine ruptured in 2019. I recognized the burning headache I'd had off and on for about three years, attributing it to menopause. It wasn't. The final headache was the worst one yet but what scared me the day it ruptured was the half-egg shaped lump that formed at the same time I felt a "tear" in my head on the left side of my neck. I was already going to go to the doctor as I'd had a major burn a few days earlier and my boxed hair color didn't take. So I was starting to suspect the headaches were something different. An hour before I could make the appointment, it ruptured. I still waited another 24 hours to go to the hospital as I had another appointment and figured I'd go down to the ER afterward and let them take a look at my head. They did a catscan and it was a brain bleed. I got my first ambulance ride to the hospital and got platinum coils put in my artery. I still didn't know it was also a hemorrhagic stroke until later. Neurotrauma ICU for about 10 days then stroke floor. Two weeks in the hospital but I survived. If it feels like the headaches burn, it's probably not menopause. That's not normal. I was 51 at the time. The average age brain aneurysms happen, but because it's around the time we can go through menopause, my headaches were initially dismissed. Get your headaches checked out. It's better to take care of the surgery BEFORE it ruptures than after with 50/50 survival rate and pre-monitoring minimizes lasting deficits. I have no known deficits. So thankful.
So weird this video plays on my Dad 2 yr death anniversary. Symptoms that passed us u: losing hair, repeating, numbness on 1 leg and forgetting simple things. Wish I knew what I kno now💔 Miss u Pops
Numbness on one leg I've been having trouble with that like now. Only thing different for me is that my numbness is only the bottom part of my leg now, last year it had my thigh numb it lasted for ever seem like to get the feeling back. My father died when I was 2 on a brain Aneurism. I got high blood pressure also.
@gingercrain4637 yes! Numbness on lower part of leg. We even had an MRI done and it was missed. He lost a lot of his hair in the back quickly. We thought it was early stages of Alzheimers when he started to forget names and navigate to simple location on his car. So many signs missed.
Growing up my brother had a close friend who tragically died at a young age of a brain aneurysm. It was very sad. I’ll never forget how torn up my brother was. He was someone I never really saw cry, and this tragedy really changed him.
We have a LOT of aneurysm in my family, both sides. Brain & stomach. There are actually some signs. I have an aneurysm. Mine was find by accident when I was in a car accident and I was send to a cardiologist. I have a SMA (aneurysm). I don’t smoke or drink or do any drugs and Limit sugar. My dad died 10 years ago from a huge aortic aneurysm that he didn’t know he had. He complained his back pain was excruciating so my mother took him to the hospital. I talked to him at 6:am and by 3:pm he has passed. Died as they prepped him for surgery. He was super healthy man at age 85. The one sign he has was back pain and his back was starting to hunch over. Aneurysms are very tricky.
My mom was one of the lucky ones. She survived her rupture with no setbacks or disabilities. She is a walking, talking miracle. My heart aches for the families who have lost their loved ones to a rupture. One thing we learned was if it's the worst headache ever, go to ER immediately and demand a CTA scan. Not a CT or an MRI. It's the scan with the dye. This is the only way they could find my mom's hemmhorage after her rupture.
Had a classmate this happened to in 8th grade. Last Saw him on a Friday and the following Monday they broke us the bad news. RIP JD. You were too young.
Low blood pressure is bad too… I now have dysautonomia, POTS, insulin sensitivity. I can only eat vegetables, meat, a few fruits, and water.. no sugar (including stevia because it dilates my blood vessels.)
I also have dysautonomia. Checkout EOnutrition on UA-cam. He’s quite a phenomenon in discussing neurological disorders and he has a wide variety of supplement suggestions which have helped me.
You can also get one by a cardiac surgeon putting in a stent,Being too aggesive and damaging your arterial wall.I had this and it took a vascular surgeon to repair it.
That’s a weird timing, Dr.Berg. Been having a sharp pain on my left side of head on some days when I’m stressed out but the last few days has been more intense. Today I felt better. I do have a kidney condition too discovered accidentally 24 years ago at the age of 21, the closest diagnosis being hydronephrosis. So we shall see. Thank you and have a lovely week ahead.
OHHH good topic, thank you. My father passed away from this and his brother told me its Is hereditary and I should be careful but when ive told doctors they say nothing. ✋👍👎My left thumb gose over a little but points outward and my right thumb stay in and gose over farthest. As of this Jan 2024 ive been realy working on all my list of health issues. 1st getting good supplements in me, then going healthy keto and lastly adding intermittent fasting. Hopefully I'll be able too start small work outs again but those three were all I could barely handle. Thank you for talking about this, its very scary topic.
I lost my mom to a brain aneurysm last year, it’s silent and it’s gonna be too late by the time the symptoms finally show, my mom stayed in the hospital for 1 year until she passed away, she survived but she was irresponsible after the surgery until the day she passed! It’s really sad. I opened UA-cam and saw this video at the top, videos like these are still so unreal to me I’ve lost count of how many videos I watched back then I was so desperate I wish this kind of video could reach a huge audience because it’s just so important to get checked even if you don’t feel any symptoms it can take away the life even of the younger generation I remember when my mom was in the hospital we heard of other causes of young adults in their 20s and 30s still. 😢
My husband died from brain aneurysm in his office 2017, leaving me with my 2 and half year old daughter at that time. A shock for me that I couldn't get over. Was hard for both my daughter and I. He had headache for years and smoked alot.
Thank you for telling me about the aneurysm because I had my grandfather who had an aneurysm in his brain died on me and I didn't know what caused it so now I have to make sure it doesn't happen to me
They can most definitely be hereditary as well , my aunt aged 21 and my sister aged 8 died two years apart in 1976 and 1978 , twenty years later my mom was diagnosed with two ( all were cerebral berry aneurysms ) my mom’s grandfather also died of one in the 1960’s .
My thumb bearly reaches the ring finger(right hand), hoping i dont have that problem. Never had alcohol and smoking for more than 20 years and that occasionaly. A big thank you for helping!❤
My sister had one when i was a teenager. Thankfully, she had brain surgery to have everything removed. I can't even began to express the feelings i had when i seen her in the hospital bed and the drs told us she would likely not make it. That was over 10 years ago now and shes happy and healthy today. We had a huge fundraiser to help pay for her surgery. I still have and wear those fund raiser shirts just to show my support for her and anyone else whos had to deal with something like this. To most people, it's just a shirt, but to me and my family, it's the reason my sister is alive today.
I have arthritis in my neck and I’ve dealt with migraines my whole life since I was a kid and to this day, I still wake up with a stiff neck and a pounding headache that feels like my head is in a capsule
@@Drberg thank you so much. I appreciate that. I used to take a lot of Excedrin but now I try to stay away from medication as much as I can now at almost 45 years old.
Polycystic Kidney Disease (PKD) patients needs to be especially careful with brain aneurysms. They are like 10-15% more at risk of developing berry aneurysms. Family history of aneurysms is also an important factor. Thank you so much Dr Berg for spreading awareness about this deadly condition.
My aunt aged 21 and my sister aged 8 died two years apart of ruptured berry aneurysms in ‘76 & ‘78 . Twenty years later my mom was diagnosed with two that are inoperable, but she is still here at age 81 . None of them had any kidney problems. My brother and I were checked in ‘78 and several times since then but nothing found . They can definitely be hereditary, my mom’s grandfather died of one in the 1960’s but we didn’t discover this until after the deaths of my aunt and sister. The neurologists I have spoken with said they were likely born with them .
I had 2 The SSDI doctor was testing me with simple subtraction. I couldn't do it Went to the neurologist and found them before they popped. Had an ablation on both. Basically tiny bird cages. Both of the aneurysms are gone. Thank God and my doctors
My brother died from a stroke and aneurysm at the young age of 25. Two weeks prior, his doctor had given him a clean bill of health. Our family was devastated. There were no symptoms. 😢
My aunt died at age 21 in 1976 , then two years later almost to the day my little sister died at age 8 , both were cerebral berry aneurysms, neither had any symptoms. Twenty years later my mom was diagnosed with two that are inoperable. Thankfully she is still here at age 81 . Her grandfather died of one in the 1960’s so they can definitely be hereditary!
I’m so sorry. That’s why I say that I believe people should get screened more. Better to spend the money and get checked, and considering possible genetic factors, you should too.
Can't. But thank you for the test! Several in my family have had aaortal anurisms then resulting kidney failure. My aunt said she was relaxing at home then felt a horrible pain! She said she KNEW something was wrong. She called 911 and then lost conciousness. The ems battle rammed the door down and she was in surgery for a LONG time under several surgeons. She survived however she had to take dialysis for the rest of her life.
When I was a kid, the little girl I played with when I visited my grandmother in the summer died of an aneurysm. She was at the river with her siblings, jumped from a rope swing into the water, and apparently was dead before she hit.
My aunt died at age 21 in 1976 while at work , two years later my little sister aged 8 died of the same cranial berry aneurysm. Twenty years later my mom was diagnosed with two inoperable ones but she is still here at age 81 .
Dr. Berg. I had a friend who died from an aneurysm just like that. But I always saw him with a beer in his hand as early as 9AM. I always wondered if his drinking was a contributing factor. Now I know. I don't smoke and drink very little, and by following your advice of taking B1 and B12, I no longer have neuropathy in my feet and lower legs. I also take 500 mg of vitamin C, 4,000 IUs of D3 along with a multivitamin and very seldom do I get ever get sick.Thanks for this video and all of your other videos.
Don't forget that the most recent "safe and effective" immune "stimulants" are well known to cause all manner of circulatory, vascular and endothelial damage.
In the UK most people are offered an ultrasound scan for aortic aneurysm at the age of about 65. That's a simple test. If an aneurysm is found it can be treated, and if there's nothing then you won't develop one in your remaining lifetime. Obviously this doesn't detect other types of aneurysm but it eliminates one source of concern.
My husband had a brain bleed but came that close to dying he was in a coma and when he finally came out he couldnt even hold silverware for his first meal he had to go 6 months of therephy but things were never right after that it affected his momory .his personality ect ect! One day he just fell on the floor with a horrible headach and thats what it was so thank you dr i appriciate this warning! God bless!! ❤
I used to have very firm skin, lots of collagen, but lots of stress affected me badly. I have lost a lot of collagen en what's left is not firm. Starting to eat liver daily for copper!
Dr Berg..... I had one behind my left eye when i was 17. Luckily my eye dr found it early. Not long after the 4th of July, i went through brain surgery. Im 44 now. I did have a couple bad headaches. Much love Dr. Berg ❤❤❤❤
It's really sad. I had friend when I was really young. Tristan. First black friend I had. He had 2 younger brothers. And his Dad who was on the police department and Swat team had a brain aneurism. He unfortunately didn't make it. And when we went to his funeral. It was heald at the church I went to at Vineyard Church of Columbus in Ohio. There were hundreds of people there from the force, and they even had a helicopter there record it for the news. And when they actually went to the burial place, they had a bunch of guards shoot rifles in the sky. It was the first funeral I had ever really been to at that time. This was around 2006 / 2007. Really sad. I came back to vist a few years ago and saw the mom. She now seems to be with a new guy. And all the bothers are all grown up now. It was very surreal.
I can extend my thumb well past my palm. I just had surgery for an aortic aneurysm and a double bypass 2 mos ago. The aneurysm was found during a lung scan. Never had any pain.
Every video in this channel is amazing, and I always learn something new. I'm so grateful to Dr. Berg for sharing this life saving knowledge with us. 🙏
Yes, I can reach my thumb too my outer palm. In 2019 on an MRI, they concluded I have a prebulging area (can't remember exact name but it's got the name aneurysm in it also). It basically means I'm a sitting duck waiting for my head to explode. But have had my brain tampered with from having an aggressive cancer cut out when I was 11 (no I'm not joking).
Hope you did the thumb test correctly, as it is you need to face your palm outwards as if you are saying stop to someone. I did the test with Palm facing me and you can easily reach way past outer palm area, mistake i made till I listened well to video and turned palm outward. May you live out your best days and enjoy life way past life expectancy and your brain heals as you grow older in Jesus name🙏
@@cecee3480 I predict this thumb test will be proven wrong by 2030. Medical errors and misinformation is the 3rd leading cause of death in the USA. Most children, double-jointed people and healthy gymnasts can overlap their thumb past their palm.
My brother died in his sleep at 30 of a brain aneurysm. He complained of a massive headache in the back of his head, took some aspirin and went to sleep and never woke up.
Aneurysm Survivor here got my operation way back 2011 I was 26 that time no vices, healthy lifestyle, changed how I view my life now. I was diagnosed with Cirsoid Aneurysm.
My 6 year old had one while back. Was told he wasn't going to make it, can't explain what I felt that day. Week later he held strong after surgery and drainage. That led to them finding a brain tumor on pineal gland. Happy to say after so much my lil man pulled through. 3years healthy since 🙏
❤❤❤
Congratulations. I pray you and yours long life and happiness
Thank God! I am happy for you and your family. It is a very young age to go through this but hopefully this would have made him stronger 💚
Miracle!! 💗
Congrats 🎉🎉🎉🎉❤❤
My sister had an aneurysm early one morning, she was able to survive for 5 days before being operated on and survived. However, after 3 months she had another one and was operated on again. It hss been 1 year since, and she is still here. I give all glory to God who worked through the doctors. I still believe that it was God both times.
If God played a role in saving her life then what do you think who caused those incidents of aneurysm ? Of course God because He controls everything in this world
@@sohailabdaliwell God gives us freewill so that’s not necessarily true.
Thank You Jesus
God bless you and your sister!! To God Be the Glory!!!!🙌
Praise the Lord God almighty!! He is the only one that is in control of our lives! 🤗🙏🏼
Lost my wife to a brain aneurysm in 1991. She was 39 and healthy. I was working in the Middle East as a Military contractor and wasn't with her when she collapsed. I think about her every day.
Very sorry about your wife. Donald, Milwaukee
So sorry about the pain of losing your wife. Praying for you.
god paying you a cash for what you doing in middle east
You loved very much and I'm sure she knew that.
Sorry to hear that. I wonder what causes these. They kill quick.
My biggest fear. I have a coworker who I was sitting right beside in a meeting, and she suddenly plopped down out of nowhere and started “snoring.” I thought she just fell asleep, apparently she had an aneurysm. We had to call 911. Thankfully she survived. This is one of my biggest fears.
Dont worry...youll be okay regardless..okay...lets not fear...these natural things...jyst enjoy yourself..make sure youre eating the rught things...sleep well...and dont take things so seriously.. because were not doing ourselves any favors having these fears...yes its reasonable .i understand trust me living woth PCOS and finding out i had it definitely invoked strong feelings of stress and fear...but come a year later im learning to live with the condition...still have fear...but owning it makes it easier..
@@lesliesantos8595 Praying for people who encourage hope like your good self. Hope you live out your best days and heal as you grow older. You’re so true, don’t fear! God bless you
I worry so much as well. My mother had a aortic aneurysm. Because I’m in the medical field I was able to get her to a vascular surgeon in a teaching area. Her doctor had said that she did have an aneurism which was 2 cm. In women, the aneurism will bust at 3 to 4. It did bust but her life was spared. My father he actually died of an abdominal aneurysm. It was terrible. Lastly, my father‘s late mother was found in the bathtub dead. She had suffered an aneurism in her brain. I get such bad migraines and especially lately. It is on both sides of my family. I’ve told the doctor so many times to check for it but that never comes to fruition. Take care of yourself!
Same thing happened to my dad but in his sleep. I woke my mom because I heard him snoring loud. He had an aneurysm. Doctors said he wouldn't make it but he did. Fast forward 20 years he is more alive than ever.
My worst fears too I b so scared 😢
I don't know if anyone wants to read this, but my brain aneurysm burst on August 18, 2018. I was 38 years old at the time and my youngest son was 10. I was a single mother. More than 70 percent of brain aneurysm victims die within 30 minutes. I survived but I was severely handicapped. Because the bleeding was large and occurred in the left hemisphere of the brain, I became completely dependent on care. I had to relearn basic activities such as speaking and walking and it took me years. Now, more than 6 years later, I feel like I can live a little again. I will never be the old me again, but I have been able to relearn the basic skills. A brain disorder is one of the worst things that can happen to you. An aneurysm is often congenital and can be triggered by stress. Life can really be very different from one moment to the next. I had never heard of an aneurysm. Or realize how bad traumatic brain injuries really are. Live healthy. Avoid stress. Love. Appreciate the little things in life. Be good to everyone, people and animals.

I’m glad you are still with us my birthday is august 16 my mother aneurysm burst August 19 and passed away August 31 2023 my father passed away November 13 2023 my birthday is coming but I can’t stand the month of August anymore please pray for me my heart is broken

11 years ago my mum walked up the stairs saying her head and neck were hurting and within seconds she was screaming in pain and passed out on our landing because she had an aneurysm. I realise that I’m very lucky to still have her here, sorry to all that have lost
What was the cause? High blood pressure?
@@Wisethinker527 I guess it could be to do with that but generally I think it’s wear and tear of the veins due to blood flow
@@morgan8292 what triggered the wear and tear?
This hit close to home. 18 years ago my wife was breastfeeding our 4 week old daughter, had a bad headache for a couple of days but could only take Tylenol. Went to ER and 30 min later she was gone. Nothing we could’ve done. Hug those you love everyday. Thank you Dr Berg for your valuable advice encouraging healthier living.
That's very sad. Wishing good health to your family.
My mom had a brain aneurysm back in 2006. I was 26 at the time I will never forget that day. I was talking to her I was off from work that day which I was never off from work on the weekend. When I was talking to her she said I’m having the worse headache ever and she put her head down with her hand on her forehead. I was still talking to her but she wasn’t answering me. I called her name I got down on the floor to look at her because she had her head down so I couldn’t see her face, and her eyes were wide opened and she has a glossy stare. I called the ambulance and she ended up being in the hospital for a month. She was paralyzed on one side, but with therapy but she was able regain strength to be able to move that side. It was just me, my mom and my daughter at home that day and had I been at work my mom would have died. My mom was a heavy smoker and smoked since I been alive all the way up until she had the aneurysm so I always thought that the smoking caused it. If she has a headache she’s going to the hospital because she said since the aneurysm she hasn’t had any headaches and she hasn’t smoked any cigarettes since.
Thank goodness you were there 🙏🏾
❤
I lost my Aunt to a brain aneurysm. She was a heavy smoker and coke drinker.
I can extend both my thumbs
I experienced this with my mother as well.
My mom died from a brain aneurysm at 52. I knew she had a headache and had appt to see a Dr. She passed in her sleep and one of the saving graces of that horrible experience was my last words to her. “I love you.”
😢
😢
Sad to hear that, my condolences 😢 I pray she's in eternal heaven happy with God 🙏
@@junation7619 she had a very strong faith. When she died I went to pick up my sister. We sat on her bed holding hands and we were crying. All of the sudden we both stopped, looked at each other and said wow did you feel that!? I felt my mothers embrace and heard”everything is going to be ok” my sister smelled her perfume. After my full conversion from being a skeptic I know that was the Holy Spirit. Thanks for the prayers. Heaven is REAL. It’s banquet table is open to every soul willing to sit with every other soul. No room for grudges, or attachments. Peace to you this day.

My grandmother had a triple aneurysm. One burst before she got to the hospital. She went through therapy after surgery and ended up living another 20+ years.
❤
Praise God for giving your grandmother the 20yrs
Did she fully recover at the time?
@@JadenJackson-x1c
She struggled with words after her aneurysms and the surgery to fix the damage but she was able to drive and lived independently up until the last year or two of her life.
@user-mx5vr5ce7m
She had trouble getting the right words to come out, although she knew what she meant. It was very frustrating for her. She would often go through all her daughter's names before coming to my name (her granddaughter who lived closest to her and spent the most time with her of all the grandkids.)
She did drive, live on her own, and was very active until the last couple of years of her life.
Another thing to think/worry about.
Don’t live life in fear. Knowledge is power. In my experience, it could help someone or save someone else’s life. ❤

Lord protect us
Back in high school, i remember my friend's mom suddenly pass away. My friend went to school the very next day, crying nonstop. She had told us that her mom passed away from an aneurysm. She said her mom had this most painful headache, so her mom decided to lay down for a bit. My friend's last words to her mom was, "mom what's for dinner?" Not knowing her mom would pass away hours later. They did eventually rush her mom to the hospital, but it was already too late. Sadly, she lost her mom that very night. I will never forget it. This happened 8 years ago..i hope she's doing fine now.
That's very sad! Her mother could have probably been saved. That's exactly what happened to my own mother when hers ruptured. She had a massive migraine and she went to lay down. She said that she felt her back was becoming paralyzed. Luckily I was there to call 911. If not, she would not have been able to do it herself. Luckily she survived without any neurological damage. It hit my heart reading your comment. Please never mention this to your friend btw. It's best that she doesn't know.
So sad🙏😥😒
My thumb extends to the edge of my hand. Age 63. I had an anuerism two years ago, passed out cold. Woke up on the floor, crawled to my phone, got in an ambulance, became conscious a couple days later in the ICU with a drain and a titanium web in my head. Complete recovery and no neurological issues now. Very lucky and haven’t had a “bad day” since! Glad to hear of some preventative items Doctor Berg, thank you so much! 👍

When they came home she had been complaining of a bad headache, went to change her clothes, the husband heard her say, "oh!" And she fell over on the bed dead! She had had an aneurysm in her brain.

Had a small lump on my temple my mom noticed and advised me to see a doctor…I seen 2 different doctors that made light of it, and so I didn’t make much of it. Fast forward about a year later the lump grew a bit bigger and once again mom noticed it and advised the same. I listened and seen a doctor who told me it was an anuresym…I was shocked and scared to say the least. I had surgery on 02/28/24 and it was removed, no complications, thank God for that 3rd doctor, but mostly thanks for my concerned mama…hey grown people you’re never too grown up to listen to your parents, sometimes their advice could save your life!!!
My thumb can spread beyond the palm edge, but I was diagnosed with a cerebral aneurysm in 2005. Nearly 20 yrs later my latest MRI showed no change still the same size 3.5mm, too small to consider surgery. I have learnt to ignore the fact that I have one and go with the flow of life. I keep my blood pressure in check and look after myself and if I ever get the ‘worst headache’ of my life I even know which hospital to go and so do all my family members. I don’t stress over it because my philosophy of life is when it’s your turn to go, you go, and prevention and monitoring is better than cure!
Do you have Ehlers Danlos Syndrome? Most people with EDS have a thumb that can extend past the palm
@@taniamaclow407 No I don’t and it only goes past in one hand the other one reach the palm but does not overextend it, but maybe it is because I have arthritis in that hand in the thumb joint. I just tried it as I have a cerebral aneurysm whether it is a coincidence or not who knows!
My sister and my aunt passed of the same type of cerebral aneurysms age 21 and age 8 . My mom was diagnosed with two inoperable ones about 20 years later and my mom’s grandfather died of one in the 1960’s . They can definitely be hereditary. If you have children they should be checked as well .
what you do mean while? how you where diagnosted?
@@linaazmiin7479 It was diagnosed in 2005 via an MRI and over the years I have had a few MRI’s to see if it was still the same size. Mine is 3.5mm and the most common place for an aneurysm ‘Circle of Willis’ and has never changed size so they do not do anything about one unless it is over 7mm usually. I have had a total of six MRI’s since then and I am under a neurologist.

Getting teary eyed reading the comments. I know I’m fortunate to be alive and have my motor skills. There are various types of aneurysms. I found that out when I suffered a rare kind when a blood vessel burst on my lower right side of brain at 42. There were no signs b4 and I was healthy. I woke up with the worst headache. I still worked stupidly. Next day I was having lower back pain. I don’t get migraines and should have taken it as a sign that something was severely wrong and I didn’t. I was agitated and short tempered which isn’t me. Another sign something was severely wrong. I walked around like that for 7 days! I only went to the dr after a coworker told me my face looked different. Come to find out by then I was beginning to show signs of a stroke. I had minimally invasive surgery with little brain swelling. The bleeding was seeping down my spine which caused the back pain. I was out the hospital in 4 days. I’m still quite sensitive to bright lights but I’m alive & well 2 years later 🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾
God has been with you
My mom died of an aneurysm back in 2000 when she was only 52 years old...she was unhealthy, ate tons of fried foods and smoked for decades. She was getting excessive headaches and had an appointment to see a doctor one morning in late January of 2000, she had her bathwater running in the master bath, went to make her coffee in the kitchen and was walking on her way back to the bath when the aneurysm happened, coroner said she was dead before she even hit the floor. My uncle who was a truck driver couldn't reach her by phone for a couple of days and went to check on her, she had been passed for a couple of days, she was single. She struggled with weight her entire life. She was the main reason that kept my awareness of my health seeing her struggles and what eating the wrong foods will do to you. She was the sacrifice to my great health, I'm 53 years old now, a year older than her and in the best shape and health of my life. It's been 24 long years since I've seen and hugged my mom......I still miss her dearly, she was the best mom I could have ever had, she was just horrible at being healthy, she was a single mom and lived for me, but when I moved out and started my own life, I think she spiraled and ate from grief and sadness which ultimately took her out. It feels weird to be a year older than a passed parent, it makes you feel like you are on bonus years. Advice to anyone who needs it, don't live for other things, live for yourself and enjoy life, we only have one...live it well! And yes, I can extend my thumb past the edge of my hand so it's probably a really good thing that I take care of myself since it appears my genetics are prone to aneurysms.
May she rest in peace 🙏🏽🕊️
My brother had an aneurism burst in his right frontal lobe when he was just under forty. He survived with brain damage. Losing the right frontal lobe changed his personality. All the medication did all kinds of damage. I wish I'd known then what I've learned since that time of his life. He was a great, beautiful person.
Please keep educating❣🙏🏻👏

My grandmother had a stroke and an aneurysm at the same time and lived for 20 years after. She was in bad shape but she lived
When Allah ( God ) wills you can live as long he prescribed
My mother had both too! It’s terrible

I was in great shape, 66 years old, going to the gym five days a week, running bleachers at the local football field, riding my bike 50 to 100 miles a month. I was preparing for a difficult hunt In Alaska in 2022. My best friend encouraged me to do a body scan at a local doctor’s office just to make sure everything was OK before this strenuous hunt . After my scan the Dr immediately sat me down and told me to find a cardiologist asap as I had a 6 cm aortic aneurysm . I located a great cardiologist in Fort Worth, Texas, who could not believe I was still alive. They got me on the operating table quickly for open-heart surgery.. I had no symptoms. My health was great. It is a silent killer. The company is called Via Scan in Irving Texas, $600 back then. I encourage everybody to do this scan. Normal blood test and basic check ups do not tell you what’s going on with your body.
A body scan …only 600? A relative was told by a medical doctor that she needed only a pelvis CT scan … and the. Resulting report was so ambiguous. “Appendix non identified” partially collapsed lung “ days after the scan my relative was called by a nurse saying “ results normal” and the phone. My relative called back to request a hard copy of a report of the results and found out about the appendix and lung. Few weeks later she started having problems in her through when she swallowed food…and her spine cracks when she takes deep breaths and has back pain and neck pain. Crazy . Doctors seem to not love their profession …. You’re lucky if you get a 30 min space to listen and talk . Insurance refuses to cover and she owes 900 bucks. This is recent.
That insane price for scan
Literally all you did wasn’t healthy and was killing you. 😐
I will start asking my doctor about these scans moving forward. Thank you so much for sharing your advice
Could you please tell me the name of the cardiologist in DFW you went to or did Via Scan refer you to one? I'm in the DFW area and this would be great information for a family member with heart disease. Thank you!
I started watching near-death experience stories. They give me consolation.
How so?

Even if what they see is partially true they are only witnessing early stages of the bardo, so we still have no idea what's beyond that unless there is any truth in the Tibetan book of the dead. It's all speculation unless you can somehow metaphysically witness what happens further after immediate death. Buddhism claims to have done this through deep meditative states... but even if there is some truth to their testimony, we still wouldn't know how much of it us true.
@@timothysatyr6674I imagine just knowing death isn't the ending
My wife died many years ago from a cerebral aneurysm. She was 40 years, never smoked, drank minimal alcohol, was not overweight, ate a balanced diet and took regular exercise. She had been off colour with some headaches. She saw the doctor (who said she just had a virus) 3 days before the aneurysm burst leading to brain hemorrhage. The paramedics were there within minutes but it was too late then although she had 4 days on life support.
I believe there is also a genetic aspect to predisposition to aneurysms.
yeah, and he showed it with the palm test
The doctor told my parents who lost my brother when he was sixteen by aneurysm, "He most likely hit his head badly when he was younger." That sent my mom into deep depression. Not only did she lose her son, but she blamed herself for his death. When my brother was around three, he ran into a ladder which then landed on him. It took a good ten years for her to get over his death.
so so sad! I am sorry this happened to your lovely young wife! YES! There is a genetic aspect to it. I have an aunt I never met who died at age 26 from an anurism. She also had Graves disease and could not shut her eyes. This happened in the early 50's -
You are absolutely correct about a genetic correlation. My aunt age 21 and my sister age 8 died 2 years apart from identical cerebral aneurysms , neither had any symptoms beforehand, this was in 1976 & 1978 . About 20 years later my mom was diagnosed with two that are inoperable. My mom’s grandfather also died of one in the 1960’s . My brother and I were checked in ‘78 and a few more times since then and have been ok .
Definitely a collagen defect. Did she have ehlers danlos
Food is the reason, for all kinds of health related problems, and solutions as well. Whatever goes inside the body can either harm it, or help it !

We lost my 17 about to turn 18 little sister three years ago exactly yesterday. 😢 it was so sudden the family was out to dinner celebrating her graduation that was in a few days, when she suddenly said she was going to the car because he had a stomach ache, after seeing she didn’t return after a couple minutes my cousin went to check on her and she found her in her seat with her seatbelt on, she thought she was playing being asleep then she realized she had peed herself and wasn’t responding. We called an ambulance and they took her to the nearest hospital where they then flew her to Seattle where they did many tests where they found she has a brain aneurysm and she was pronounced brain dead. 😢three days later she was disconnected. It was so sad loosing her so suddenly right before her graduation and her 18 th b day, she was so excited to graduate and even had. Job lined up at the bank near our home. All I can say is life is so fragile hug and love your loved ones. We never know when it could be our last. I miss you little sister fly high with our creator, for ever loved❤️
did she have any signs like Dr Berg mentioned that would make her have a brain aneuyrism
Yes you are saying right
No jab?
@@peaceandlove544 what do you mean ?
@@JustaKarenDiscoveredTheIntrnet no signs she would never complain of headaches she was a pretty healthy girl was in sports, I don’t know what could have caused it doctors say she could of been born with it and it eventually ruptured. 😢
I had aneurysm 14 years ago,headache everyday all day took a lot of paracetamol thinking it was just a migraine ,till my jaw and tingling on my right face and lots of symptoms I been feeling not knowing I had aneurysm,took seeing lots of doctors still cannot find what was wrong until I was sent to a neurologist even the neurologist cannot see what was wrong she asked me to do MRI that’s when they found out,straight to the surgery no more waiting it’s about to burst,thanks God and my guardian angels I’m still here 🙏I am now 63 years old my aneurysm was a cerebral frontal lobe.
In 2019, I had a mild traumatic brain injury and ended up with persistent post concussion syndrome. They did a brain MRI in 2020 and found an aneurysm that was high risk for rupture. When my doctor said only 1 out of 2 people whose aneurysms rupture survive, I said what can we do. They went in through my groin, found that I actually had 4 aneurysms in my brain that were thankfully close together, so they inserted a flow diversion pipeline (metal sort of mesh tube) in my artery to cut off the blood flow to those bulging areas of my arteries. Within 2 years all aneurysms were completely gone praise God. Advice I got on prevention was resveratrol and exercise.
Praise science, glad your doing well
@@SipsiBachwe have to praise God not an area of study.
My aunt died at 21 from one that ruptured then 2 years almost to the day later my 8 year old sister died of one as well , my mom was diagnosed with two twenty years later but was told they were too risky to operate on . She is still with us at 81 thankfully.
Yes we praise God fr his help thru medical science , good Drs, improved medical technology etc. We are thankful for such things but we don't give things our praise. We are wiser than that

My Mom suffered a double rupture in 1994. She woke up with a terrible headache and collapsed. She went through a 9 hour surgery and survived, thank God. Mom went to heaven in 2020, six days shy of her 95th birthday.

My mom has one Aug 24 it was the most normal day ever she went down to sleep and later on I came in to her ‘snoring’ and immediately called 911 thankfully she to the hospital in time and she’s here but still recovering in the hospital all glory to the man above !
My wife had emergency surgery to her upper aortic dissection last November. She complained of severe back pains along the spine area, and we had no idea what it was until the doctors at ER scanned her. Her aorta is now replaced with a graft and as of April this year her heart size and function has returned to normal. However, as a complication, she suffered a minor stroke on her left side and her eyesight is not clear due to an infarction in her brain that occurred during her surgery. She now needs physiotherapy but can already walk but aided. Her kidneys at first did not function properly so had to use dialysis until they functioned nicely again. Cognitive wise, she gets bouts of mental block even when around people and her responses take a second slower than usual. Which is why I found she is quieter now than before, although she can talk and laugh and smile etc. But the moment the doctors tols me they had to conduct the surgery immediately my world fell apart, as it was life threatening. She spent 3 months in hospital and it's not something I'd like to go through again. Apparently this affects the women in her family: her maternal grandmother and aunt died due to this, but she managed to survive, while a couple of her female cousins are also at risk. Her doctors were amazed at her fighting spirit since ICU, I believe God gave her another lease of life. Now she can go for lengthy walks out in the hot sun and not complain about headache, dizziness, migraine, fainting, or even any pains in her back unlike before when she had to take painkillers just after a short walk because she gets nasty pains in her head and has to sleep to kill the psin off. I pray my wife continues to recover and enjoy life in full swing and happiness. A shout out to her doctors and therapists at Singapore General Hospital for their amazing work. ❤

I had an aneurysm rupture about 4 or 5 years ago. I recovered in a few weeks. I currently have one or two still in my brain but they don’t negatively affect me. Life’s been good. 😊
I was just diagnosed with a 3mm brain aneurysm last week. I went into the ER on 6/2 with what I thought was a stroke. It turned out to be dehydration/vertigo but they discovered the brain aneurysm through the CT scan. I saw a neurosurgeon and he said there is a less than 1% chance it will rupture. I am having an MRA done in December, hoping it doesn’t get any larger and remains at 3mm. I’m definitely scared and trying to make the necessary changes. Thank you for the video Dr. Berg.
I just lost my uncle an hour ago bec of aneurysm and were just had a short talk this morning before his operation and hes lively and i told him not to be afraid bec hes doctor will take care of him we just need to pray
My dad currently has an abdominal aortic aneurysm that is dilated to 7 cm. It was found by accident in 2016 when it was still quite small, and has been monitored ever since by ultrasound and CT scans. Due to the shape and location of his aneurysm, an endograft is not possible, so he has been given two options, surgery that may lead to other serious health risks or leave it. Yesterday was my dad’s 87th birthday, he asked for a family gathering and announced that he is going to leave it.
I have what is called an AVM (artero venus malformation) in my lower pelvis, 6.5 x 3.4. Balooning bigger each 2nd year I have a CT scan. Too big to do anything about. I wear a medic alert bracelet as it sits close to my appendix and Ill die if they open me up the normal way. Wish there was more info out there about it.
He is going? As in soon, naturally or....?
@@peaceandlove544 he decided to not do the surgery due to too many risks after the surgery, especially the possibility of reduced circulation to his legs that could lead to amputation of his foot or feet. He had a triple bypass on his heart 9 years ago so the circulation in his legs has already been compromised due to the veins that were removed from his legs and used on his heart. At this time, the aneurysm has grown to a point where it could rupture at anytime. He is taking everything one day at a time. I helped him plant a garden so he can spend his time doing something that he loves and hopefully he will make it to see his next great grandchild that is due to arrive in December. ❤️

Dr Berg, thank you for highlighting the significance of copper in aneurysms. I developed a tiny aneurysm in my brain 20-something years ago. Researching aneurysms then, I discovered that copper was important in maintaining collagen, which is what blood vessels are mostly made of. Ever since I've been trying to regularly consume copper-containing foods, particularly liver and sesame seeds. Vitamin C is also vital, which poses a bit of a dilemma. Vit C is somewhat antagonistic to copper, so it's best to consume the two nutrients at separate times. It's also a good idea to consume collagen regularly as bone broth.
You are the first to mention the influence of zinc and copper. Taking too much zinc can lead to a mechanism where copper absorption is inhibited. Therefore, it's crucial not to consume excessive amounts of zinc. Thank you.
Yes, it should be a balance of both. Too much of one will deplete the other.
May God bless u and preserve u dr.Berg from all evil and from all illness 🤲🏻🌸
My thumb cannot extend beyond the palm edge.I don't smoke,drink and do not consume seed oils Thank you so much Doctor.
I survived a berry aneurysm in 1995. I had high blood pressure and was lifting weights at the time. I can’t tell you how many medical people over the years have reviewed my case and told me there was almost no chance that I would’ve made it to, let alone through, surgery without some function loss, as my aneurysm ruptured during the procedure.
Berry aneurysms killed my aunt at 21 and my little sister at age 8 . It’s nice to hear of someone that survived one . Twenty years later my mom was diagnosed with two that are inoperable but she is still with us at 81 . If you have children please consider getting them checked as they can definitely be hereditary. My great grandfather on my moms side died of one in the 1960’s as well .
Dr berg out here saving lives!
I’ve had 2 brain aneurysms operated on - cranial surgery + endo vascular to clip + coil.
Found out through post coital fainting.
I have to be very careful with lots of things but hey I’m still here + LoveLife.
One thing I don’t agree with in your video is the exercise component - you shouldn’t raise your heartbeat.
I do QiGong, meditation, gardening + walking.
Most people die of brain aneurysms so I’m very Lucky + Blessed !
Thanks for the comment. But heart rate part I don't understand. While doing exercise it will go up only no?
@@parimalaanbalagan9549 It's the adaptations that the body does to handle more future exercise, that is the healthy part of exercise. The trick is to exercise enough to need some body adaptations (strengthening) to handle more exercise, but not to the point your body cannot handle adapting to it. For some people it only takes a tiny bit of exertion, to max out what adaptive gains they can make. Especially at first. Pretty sure Dr Berg is advocating for this and not over exercising, beyond what you can gain adaptation to.
Well the thing with exercise is that it doesn’t constrict your blood vessels so you’re getting enough oxygen in your blood/ body I think exercise is good as long as you don’t have the immediate headache symptoms etc.
@@ProdNapoleon oh. Is it so? Whenever I do cardio I get mild headache 😩. That means I have some problem? Thanks for your reply.
@@parimalaanbalagan9549the person is doing very low impact exercises. It will raise the heart rate, but minimally. Tai chi is another great low impact exercise.
My friend died from this. Saw him that day and two days later, be was gone. I remember going to Walgreens with him to get some painkillers because he had a headache and floaters in his eye. I didn't think anything if it. This happened in 2018. I still think about it today

Mine ruptured in 2019. I recognized the burning headache I'd had off and on for about three years, attributing it to menopause. It wasn't. The final headache was the worst one yet but what scared me the day it ruptured was the half-egg shaped lump that formed at the same time I felt a "tear" in my head on the left side of my neck. I was already going to go to the doctor as I'd had a major burn a few days earlier and my boxed hair color didn't take. So I was starting to suspect the headaches were something different. An hour before I could make the appointment, it ruptured. I still waited another 24 hours to go to the hospital as I had another appointment and figured I'd go down to the ER afterward and let them take a look at my head. They did a catscan and it was a brain bleed. I got my first ambulance ride to the hospital and got platinum coils put in my artery. I still didn't know it was also a hemorrhagic stroke until later. Neurotrauma ICU for about 10 days then stroke floor. Two weeks in the hospital but I survived. If it feels like the headaches burn, it's probably not menopause. That's not normal. I was 51 at the time. The average age brain aneurysms happen, but because it's around the time we can go through menopause, my headaches were initially dismissed. Get your headaches checked out. It's better to take care of the surgery BEFORE it ruptures than after with 50/50 survival rate and pre-monitoring minimizes lasting deficits. I have no known deficits. So thankful.
So weird this video plays on my Dad 2 yr death anniversary. Symptoms that passed us u: losing hair, repeating, numbness on 1 leg and forgetting simple things. Wish I knew what I kno now💔 Miss u Pops
Numbness on one leg I've been having trouble with that like now. Only thing different for me is that my numbness is only the bottom part of my leg now, last year it had my thigh numb it lasted for ever seem like to get the feeling back. My father died when I was 2 on a brain Aneurism. I got high blood pressure also.
So sorry for your loss
@gingercrain4637 yes! Numbness on lower part of leg. We even had an MRI done and it was missed. He lost a lot of his hair in the back quickly. We thought it was early stages of Alzheimers when he started to forget names and navigate to simple location on his car. So many signs missed.

My sister aged 8 and my aunt aged 21 both died from ruptured berry aneurysms in their heads , two years apart neither had any symptoms.
Growing up my brother had a close friend who tragically died at a young age of a brain aneurysm. It was very sad. I’ll never forget how torn up my brother was. He was someone I never really saw cry, and this tragedy really changed him.
We have a LOT of aneurysm in my family, both sides. Brain & stomach. There are actually some signs. I have an aneurysm. Mine was find by accident when I was in a car accident and I was send to a cardiologist. I have a SMA (aneurysm). I don’t smoke or drink or do any drugs and Limit sugar.
My dad died 10 years ago from a huge aortic aneurysm that he didn’t know he had. He complained his back pain was excruciating so my mother took him to the hospital. I talked to him at 6:am and by 3:pm he has passed. Died as they prepped him for surgery. He was super healthy man at age 85. The one sign he has was back pain and his back was starting to hunch over.
Aneurysms are very tricky.
Super healthy at 85 bruh
My mom was one of the lucky ones. She survived her rupture with no setbacks or disabilities. She is a walking, talking miracle. My heart aches for the families who have lost their loved ones to a rupture. One thing we learned was if it's the worst headache ever, go to ER immediately and demand a CTA scan. Not a CT or an MRI. It's the scan with the dye. This is the only way they could find my mom's hemmhorage after her rupture.

I lost my mom to a brain aneurysm last year, it’s silent and it’s gonna be too late by the time the symptoms finally show, my mom stayed in the hospital for 1 year until she passed away, she survived but she was irresponsible after the surgery until the day she passed! It’s really sad. I opened UA-cam and saw this video at the top, videos like these are still so unreal to me I’ve lost count of how many videos I watched back then I was so desperate I wish this kind of video could reach a huge audience because it’s just so important to get checked even if you don’t feel any symptoms it can take away the life even of the younger generation I remember when my mom was in the hospital we heard of other causes of young adults in their 20s and 30s still. 😢
My wife almost died of a brain aneurysm in 2003, and I currently have a renal artery aneurysm which is not large enough to be operable.
My husband died from brain aneurysm in his office 2017, leaving me with my 2 and half year old daughter at that time. A shock for me that I couldn't get over. Was hard for both my daughter and I. He had headache for years and smoked alot.
Thank you for telling me about the aneurysm because I had my grandfather who had an aneurysm in his brain died on me and I didn't know what caused it so now I have to make sure it doesn't happen to me

My sister had one when i was a teenager. Thankfully, she had brain surgery to have everything removed.
I can't even began to express the feelings i had when i seen her in the hospital bed and the drs told us she would likely not make it.
That was over 10 years ago now and shes happy and healthy today.
We had a huge fundraiser to help pay for her surgery. I still have and wear those fund raiser shirts just to show my support for her and anyone else whos had to deal with something like this. To most people, it's just a shirt, but to me and my family, it's the reason my sister is alive today.

Glad it was a successful surgery. Wishing you good health.
Polycystic Kidney Disease (PKD) patients needs to be especially careful with brain aneurysms. They are like 10-15% more at risk of developing berry aneurysms. Family history of aneurysms is also an important factor. Thank you so much Dr Berg for spreading awareness about this deadly condition.
My aunt aged 21 and my sister aged 8 died two years apart of ruptured berry aneurysms in ‘76 & ‘78 . Twenty years later my mom was diagnosed with two that are inoperable, but she is still here at age 81 . None of them had any kidney problems. My brother and I were checked in ‘78 and several times since then but nothing found . They can definitely be hereditary, my mom’s grandfather died of one in the 1960’s but we didn’t discover this until after the deaths of my aunt and sister. The neurologists I have spoken with said they were likely born with them .
I had 2
The SSDI doctor was testing me with simple subtraction. I couldn't do it
Went to the neurologist and found them before they popped.
Had an ablation on both. Basically tiny bird cages.
Both of the aneurysms are gone.
Thank God and my doctors
My brother died from a stroke and aneurysm at the young age of 25. Two weeks prior, his doctor had given him a clean bill of health. Our family was devastated. There were no symptoms. 😢
My aunt died at age 21 in 1976 , then two years later almost to the day my little sister died at age 8 , both were cerebral berry aneurysms, neither had any symptoms.

That is the medical mafia for ya. Medical errors and misinformation is the 3rd leading cause of death in the USA.
I’m so sorry. That’s why I say that I believe people should get screened more. Better to spend the money and get checked, and considering possible genetic factors, you should too.
Can't. But thank you for the test! Several in my family have had aaortal anurisms then resulting kidney failure. My aunt said she was relaxing at home then felt a horrible pain! She said she KNEW something was wrong. She called 911 and then lost conciousness. The ems battle rammed the door down and she was in surgery for a LONG time under several surgeons. She survived however she had to take dialysis for the rest of her life.
When I was a kid, the little girl I played with when I visited my grandmother in the summer died of an aneurysm. She was at the river with her siblings, jumped from a rope swing into the water, and apparently was dead before she hit.
That is very sad. I’m so sorry you had to experience this, especially as a child.
My aunt died at age 21 in 1976 while at work , two years later my little sister aged 8 died of the same cranial berry aneurysm. Twenty years later my mom was diagnosed with two inoperable ones but she is still here at age 81 .
Dr. Berg. I had a friend who died from an aneurysm just like that. But I always saw him with a beer in his hand as early as 9AM. I always wondered if his drinking was a contributing factor. Now I know. I don't smoke and drink very little, and by following your advice of taking B1 and B12, I no longer have neuropathy in my feet and lower legs. I also take 500 mg of vitamin C, 4,000 IUs of D3 along with a multivitamin and very seldom do I get ever get sick.Thanks for this video and all of your other videos.
Don't forget that the most recent "safe and effective" immune "stimulants" are well known to cause all manner of circulatory, vascular and endothelial damage.
Stop.
@@SGRmoss Why should he? its verifiably true. The extent is yet to be analysed.
What specific immune stimulants cause damage?
In the UK most people are offered an ultrasound scan for aortic aneurysm at the age of about 65. That's a simple test. If an aneurysm is found it can be treated, and if there's nothing then you won't develop one in your remaining lifetime. Obviously this doesn't detect other types of aneurysm but it eliminates one source of concern.
Age now 69, I have never been offered that.
My grandfather recently passed from an aortic aneurysm in the UK (aged 76) and never had the scan offered to him either
My husband had a brain bleed but came that close to dying he was in a coma and when he finally came out he couldnt even hold silverware for his first meal he had to go 6 months of therephy but things were never right after that it affected his momory .his personality ect ect!

What is loose collagen? Does taking collagen supplements help?
I used to have very firm skin, lots of collagen, but lots of stress affected me badly. I have lost a lot of collagen en what's left is not firm.
Starting to eat liver daily for copper!

Dr Berg..... I had one behind my left eye when i was 17. Luckily my eye dr found it early. Not long after the 4th of July, i went through brain surgery. Im 44 now. I did have a couple bad headaches. Much love Dr. Berg ❤❤❤❤
It's really sad. I had friend when I was really young. Tristan. First black friend I had. He had 2 younger brothers. And his Dad who was on the police department and Swat team had a brain aneurism. He unfortunately didn't make it. And when we went to his funeral. It was heald at the church I went to at Vineyard Church of Columbus in Ohio. There were hundreds of people there from the force, and they even had a helicopter there record it for the news. And when they actually went to the burial place, they had a bunch of guards shoot rifles in the sky. It was the first funeral I had ever really been to at that time. This was around 2006 / 2007. Really sad. I came back to vist a few years ago and saw the mom. She now seems to be with a new guy. And all the bothers are all grown up now. It was very surreal.
We are all the leaves of a giant tree my friend. When the wind comes, some leaves go with the wind, We can turn the page if only we help one another.
The moral of the story is that she will always find another man, but a man will be loyal and will never find another woman.
My mother died of a brain aneurysm in 1988 at the age of 25 when I was only six years old and I’ve always had a fear of aneurysms since
😢
Hi Dr. Berg! Yes I can extend my thumb across to the lower pinky on both hands. 😮
I did to... Is that okay lol
Me too.
I can extend my thumb well past my palm. I just had surgery for an aortic aneurysm and a double bypass 2 mos ago. The aneurysm was found during a lung scan. Never had any pain.
Sorry to hear what happened. Hope everything's okay there. Take care.
thanks doc
Sure thing.
Every video in this channel is amazing, and I always learn something new. I'm so grateful to Dr. Berg for sharing this life saving knowledge with us. 🙏
Yes, I can reach my thumb too my outer palm. In 2019 on an MRI, they concluded I have a prebulging area (can't remember exact name but it's got the name aneurysm in it also). It basically means I'm a sitting duck waiting for my head to explode. But have had my brain tampered with from having an aggressive cancer cut out when I was 11 (no I'm not joking).
🙏🏼
Hope you did the thumb test correctly, as it is you need to face your palm outwards as if you are saying stop to someone. I did the test with Palm facing me and you can easily reach way past outer palm area, mistake i made till I listened well to video and turned palm outward.
May you live out your best days and enjoy life way past life expectancy and your brain heals as you grow older in Jesus name🙏
I can basically wrap my thumb around my outer palm. Great more anxiety.
Stop smoking and drinking @@cecee3480
@@cecee3480 I predict this thumb test will be proven wrong by 2030. Medical errors and misinformation is the 3rd leading cause of death in the USA. Most children, double-jointed people and healthy gymnasts can overlap their thumb past their palm.
My brother died in his sleep at 30 of a brain aneurysm. He complained of a massive headache in the back of his head, took some aspirin and went to sleep and never woke up.
Sorry for ur lost
I can move my thumb beyond my hand. My mom died from a pineal gland tumor a year ago this week. So I've been a little paranoid about this issue lately
Aneurysm Survivor here got my operation way back 2011 I was 26 that time no vices, healthy lifestyle, changed how I view my life now. I was diagnosed with Cirsoid Aneurysm.
Yes on both hands.
