Aortic Aneurysms are characterized by an aneurysm in a blood vessel that is in the aorta. The aorta is the largest artery in the body and responsible for supplying the body with blood. The aorta runs from the chest down to the abdomen. It then breaks off and forms two smaller arteries known as the iliac arteries. The upper portion of the aorta supplies the upper half of the body with blood, the lower half of the aorta supplies the lower half of the body. When an aneurysm occurs in the aorta is can cause many different health problems to arise. Therefore, it is important to know the symptoms of an aortic aneurysm to prevent the problems from occurring.
Before it has ruptured, there are not many symptoms of an aortic aneurysm. In fact, in many cases there are no symptoms at all. This can become a problem when trying to diagnose it. One symptom of an aortic aneurysm that is sometimes present is back pain. This is common for both lower and upper aortic aneurysms. Another symptoms of an aortic aneurysm is a pulsing sensation. This is more common in abdominal aortic aneurysms and will feel like a heartbeat. This is caused by the blood flowing into the aneurysm, much like the blood flows into the heart.
Once the aneurysm has ruptured you will notice a lot of symptoms. One of the most common symptoms of an aortic aneurysm that has ruptured is sudden, severe pain that spreads through the chest, abdomen, back and legs. The pain will be excruciating and will not subside. It may get worse at some point, but some pain will always be present. Nausea and vomiting are also common symptoms of an aortic aneurysm that has ruptured. Other symptoms include palpitations, low blood pressure and shock.
The symptoms of an aortic aneurysm can lead to serious health conditions. It is important to diagnose and treat an aortic aneurysm as soon as possible. If you notice any symptoms forming, you should speak with your doctor about the possibility of an aneurysm forming. This will help prevent the aneurysm from growing and rupturing. In doing so, it will also prevent other problems and could save your life.
