| | Conventional Medicine: For inoperable aneurysms, you may be prescribed drugs that lower your blood pressure or reduce the force of your heart's contractions, thereby minimizing the risk of a rupture. |
| | Alternative Choices: The following treatments -- all primarily intended to prevent aneurysms -- should be pursued along with, not instead of, your doctor's orders. |
| | Mind/Body Medicine: Keeping your mind and body relaxed may prevent an aneurysm from worsening. Try stress-relieving exercises that you can do at home such as yoga or meditation. |
| | Nutrition and Diet: Dietary changes that lower blood pressure and slow atherosclerosis may help prevent an aneurysm from developing. |
