A member asked:
If you cough really hard, could it rupture a brain aneurysm?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Possible: If your aneurysm were a critical size, >9mm, and your coughing bout raised intrathoracic pressure with secondary vascular pressure elevation (Valsalva maneuver), might indeed rupture fragile aneurysm.
