Brain aneurysms can happen to anyone.
My sister had one about that age. She survived it, thank God, but the kind she had the doctors said was fatal 50% of the time. Then there’s what happens afterwards. Anything from perfectly normal to vegetative state.
Glad to hear that your sister survived it.
I knew a PhD candidate some years ago who was in his early 30s, very fit and healthy, and who had a brain aneurysm while jogging one morning. Died instantly as far as anyone could tell.
My 28 yr old cousin was waterskiing with his wife driving the boat and his two children cheering him on. He fell in the water and he was unconscious. They took him off life support a few hrs later. Very dark day for us. Absolutely no warning.
Then again, I know there are cases where one may have an aneurysm, go on to have a long career, say, in the US Senate, only to end up in a vegetative state years later.
Are they hereditary?
I had 2 female cousins that each died from a brain aneurysm, both on my dad’s side. One was his sister’s daughter, the other was his brother’s daughter.
Also, both were under 20 years old..
The frequency has gone way, way up. (And many very young ones earlier were tied to drug abuse.)
