Aneurysm

In the hospital, I was detected that I have an aneurism. That was the condition that occurred in my brain (cerebral aneurysm). Aneurysm was said to be a localized, blood-filled dilation (balloon-like bulge) of a blood vessel caused by disease or weakening of the vessel wall. It can be very fatal when the bulge in a blood vessel burst and could lead to death at any time.
As stated by the doctors that attended me, these can be the causes of aneurysm in my brain:
1. congenital defects
2. poor eating habits
3. high blood pressure
4. alcoholic drinks
5. smoking
6. stress
7. drugs
As examined, 6 of those were confirmed in my situation. They detected that the aneurysm in my head was a congenital defect. I have poor eating habits(Mahilig kasi ako sa mga maaalat,matatamis at matatabang pagkain. When I was in college I always eat “Kwek kwek” or coated quail eggs for my lunch and merienda. I didn’t know if its true; "Nung nasa hospital ako sa quezon, nang icheck ang aking blood pressure, biglang taas daw. But when I was brought to manila, my blood pressure was normal" I drink alcoholic beverages occasionally and I also tried smoking but not too much. I think I’m also stressed that time because of my studies and some personal matters.
Symptoms of aneurysms were:
1. severe headache
2. nausea
3. vomiting
4. impairment of speech
5. loss of consciousness
I experienced almost of it except I was conscious that time. And the worst part of it was the aneurysm inside my head was ruptured that resulted to stroke. My half body was paralyzed. I really couldn’t imagine myself in this situation. Pakiramdam ko nasira ang buhay ko. All of my dreams were shattered. Parang nawalan ng saysay ang lahat.
But on the positive side, I was blessed. I was given a 2nd chance to live my life again. Usually aneurysm cases leads to death. I remembered my father told me that in the operating room we were almost 4 or 5 patients which have a similar case that I have. We were about to be operated in our heads. My entire fellow patients didn’t make it to survive the operation except me. Lalo akong di makapaniwala, So, I said to myself, I will make my life more meaningful and worthy. I will share my life to others and prove them that life is beautiful yet complicated. So live life to the fullest and make the most out of it…….


6 (causes) + 4 (symptoms) = 10 (aneurysm)
