Welcome to NeuroTalk...
I am not an expert on aneurysms, but I had a colleague at work, a woman 47 who had a stroke that was generated by a tear in one carotid artery. She was moving heavy furniture, and lifting stuff she shouldn't have been (helping settle her mother in assisted living), and the pressure damaged her one carotid artery. It showed up on MRA...
She was told to stop lifting or exerting herself. She did recover from the stroke, it was on the right side and she was briefly paralyzed. And with time the carotid did heal up. But I wonder if your doctors cautioned you about lifting weights or doing straining during your work outs?
I would be cautious about that.
