ANEURYSMS: Typically these outpouchings or ballooning of arterial blood vessels are genetically determined, most of the time you are born with these defective arteries. However, good blood pressure control, treatment for elevated cholesterol, avoiding obesity and smoking goes a long way in preventing these things from growing to dangerous levels any time soon.Check ur family hx. Good health to you and yours.
