Can Physical Activities Be Resumed After Clipping Of Brain Aneurysm?
i had a brain aneurysm clipped on 7th aug of this year, is it ok to resume all activities including going to gym etc, i have no physical defect from my surgery i still get tired but think this is more to do with the lack of activity,, im keen to resume working but feel i need to rebuild some of my stamina,, Also now that my aneurysm was clipped does this mean that aneurysm is gone completely? iv still got weeks until i see my surgeon or id have asked him

Hello,
Thank you for trusting HCM.
It is advised to avoid any extreme physical activity for the time being until you meet your surgeon. Avoid straining, avoid anything that would lead to increase in intracranial pressure among which straining during defecation or strenuous physical activity like lifting weight for example, all at least until you get proper assessment by your doctor. You can walk as an exercise for the time being, nothing that will put so much stress on you. Hope that helped stay safe.
