Jo Lindner German Body Builder died due to an aneurysm
It is a bulge in a blood vessel that occurs when the wall of the blood vessel weakens. Aneurysms can occur in any blood vessel in the body, but they are most common in the brain, aorta, and abdominal arteries.
Can rupture, or burst, at any time. When ruptures, it can cause a sudden, severe headache, nausea, vomiting, stiff neck, blurred or double vision, sensitivity to light, seizures, loss of consciousness, and even death.
The symptoms can vary depending on the size and location of it. Small aneurysms may not cause any symptoms, while larger ones can put pressure on nearby nerves or organs and cause more noticeable symptoms.
If you experience any of the symptoms, it is important to seek medical attention immediately. They are a medical emergency and require prompt treatment.
