Cause #6: Illegal Drug Use
Many illegal drugs are known to contribute to physical ailments and can contribute to the development of an aneurysm. This is particularly true of stimulating drugs like amphetamines or cocaine, both of which are known to raise blood pressure a significant amount.
The main issue posed by illegal drug use is that users are not following a prescribed dosage regime. It can be hard or impossible to determine which doses are going to contribute to serious or long-term problems, and few drug users are eager to go to the doctor to get checked up on the symptoms of their habits.
