Ruptured Brain Aneurysm | Dr. Olachi Mezu's Story

[caseybrown]

I had an aneurysm in 2018, it ruptured, I was at the university of Maryland, they said I wasn't going to make it, if I did, I wouldn't be able to walk, talk or do anything, GOD SAID DIFFERENT, I MADE A FULL RECOVERY, WITH NO THERAPY, GOD CAN DO ANYTHING, I THANK THE HOSPITAL, EVEN MORE I THANK GOD.

It's really sad that sometimes you need to fight your doctor to get the help you need. I wonder how many people die because of a doctors ineptitude and lack of thoroughness.

had an aneyrusm when i was 21, i am 22 now. Doctors said i was born with it.
When the rupture happend i was home alone and I had no simptoms at all the whole day, not even a headache untill it ruprured. I was getting really confused and when i tried to call 911 i realized that i couldn't even remember their number so i panicked. The headache was getting worse and worse very fast. I manged to unlock the door of my flat and started screaming for help... I was running up and down the hallfway for maybe a minute when my right side of body just stopped working, i was paralyzed and unable to move and i was slowly falling unconsions. I was lucky that one woman was just coming from the shop and she heard me crying for help, the last i remmember was her asking me what's wrong before i fell into unconsciousness. What suprises me is that all of this happened so fast! In only few minutes and i already had a low chance of surviving. When they saw me they said that there is like 5% for surviving, and when they saw that i will survive they said that there is a big chance that i will never be phisically or mentally the same. I was 4 days in coma and 3 months in recovery. Yesterday was exactly a year that this accident happend and today i feel amazing! I never felt more vital and alive than now. I find this aneurysm to be a blessing because it made me cherish what I already have and that made my life better! 💖

Thanks for telling your story, I have survived 2 ruptured brain aneurysms, both clipped back in 1988, I was 17yrs old at the time and I'm now 41yrs old and doing great.

I had never heard of brain aneurysm until 7 June 2024 when I collapsed and got diagnosed with it. The neurologist did coiling, and I'm due to coil another one in 3 months' time. I'm recovering at home and have fully gained mobility. All thanks to the Almighty, the doctors who attended to me and the friend who did not hesitate to call an ambulance when I was unconscious.

Good thing she was a doctor. The rest of us would've been screwed

Respect to Dr. Judy Huang, now that is the definition of a Dr.

My mom passed away while running on a treadmill due to a brain aneurysm. I was wondering if she experienced pain, Jesus I pray she did not have any pain. Was she aware she was going to leave me?

My mom had a brain aneurism in her sleep, died at the age of 59. I am that age now & went to E.R. for different symptons & subsequently found that I have a sm one. What are the odds? I have had chronic migraines for over 35 yrs. I would have never known the difference because they're so bad. Thank God it was found early, a miracle as I didn't go in for this!! OUR GOD IS AN AWESOME GOD!

I had a ruptured brain aneurysm in September and didn’t have the typical “worse headache of my life.” Instead I had an incredibly stiff and painful neck and then felt like something struck the top of my head and traveled down my spine. I thought maybe I had ruptured a disk in my neck. Just want to throw this out there so that if you feel something is wrong, just go to the ER like I did. Fortunately I recovered 💯.

I’ve had a similar story, at the age of 10, 5th grade I had a brain haemorrhage, I was diagnosed by a local doctor after I blacked out that it was a regular headache, but my parents for my life. In hospital I suffered a seizure, but luckily no parts of my brain were affected. Unluckily around now (5 years later) after recent review they discover the cause of my haemorrhage and it’s still there I’m still praying to god that over the next week that the doctors reach the right decision and not ruin my final years as I’m now in a science school studying quite hard, plz pray for me🤞

It’s been 11years for me Since I had a ruptured brain aneurysm to the left side of my brain required brain surgery in 2010. I had to learn how to walk & talk all over again & in 2014 they found one on my right. I am a Survivor but it’s still Scary
