A medical study at the University of Utrecht in the Netherlands has identified eight factors that increase the risk of stroke due to a ruptured aneurysm . The first place on the list is occupied by coffee consumption, which accounts for 10.6% of bleeding, according to the Journal of the American Heart Association . They are followed by doing heavy physical exercises (7.9%), blowing their noses (5.4%) and practicing sex (4.3%). Straining to defecate, freaking out, drinking cola, and getting angry complete the list of causes. According to the researchers, who have studied 250 patients for 3 years, each of these factors causes a sudden rise in blood pressure , posing a well-known risk of stroke.
This study only looks at the factors that lead to an aneurysm rupture, but not its causes. It is estimated that one in 50 people has a brain aneurysm, but not all of them explode . Everything indicates that hypertension caused by excess weight, smoking and sedentary lifestyle weaken the walls of the arteries.
