1. aneurysm

2. cusp

Explanation:

An aneurysm is the excessive enlargement of a weakened area of an artery wall. It may be a hereditary condition or an acquired disease. Some symptoms of aneurysm can be fatigue, loss of balance, double vision, and neck pain. A cusp is one of the triangular segments in a heart's valve. It opens and closes as the blood flows.
