I have had a heart aneurysm and i was trying to find out why. I swim and play netball alot so I'm not that unfit. I guess maybe just my diet. My family do have a history of heart disease, but I am the first one to have an aneurysm

Yes, injury can cause aneurysm.
Superior gluteal artery false aneurysm is a rare presentation. The most common causes of false aneurysm are traumatic by stab wound1 or arterial catheterization. Other causes include post Le Fort I,III type fracture2 and post internal fixation of an intertrochanteric femoral fracture3.
False aneurysm can present early as ischemia distaly, pressure symptoms or as a mass. Aneurysm can be treated surgically by excision with Dacron graft replacement, by surgical ligation or by embolization which offer an effective alternative and less invasive approach than surgery.
You contact your operating surgeon for further follow up of your case as he is the best judge.

Aneurysm of the heart is usually due to myocardial infarcts weakening the heart wall.

Question is do you smoke? Smoking is one of the biggest causes of heart aneurysm.
