What is Aortic Aneurysm?
Aortic aneurysms are balloon-like enlargements in the major vessel that supplies blood to the body (aorta). They can rupture and bleed, which can be life-threatening. Aneurysms can develop anywhere along the aorta, but are most commonly in the lower portion of the aorta. Common causes include high blood pressure, fat buildup in the artery, infections, trauma, or blood vessel diseases.
Typical Symptoms of Aortic Aneurysm
- Producing phlegm that contains blood
- Throbbing lump in the abdomen
- Chest pain
- Hoarse or husky voice
- Producing phlegm
- History of high blood pressure
- Back pain or discomfort
- Stomach or abdominal pain
Diagnostic Questions for Aortic Aneurysm
Your doctor may ask these questions to check for this disease:
- Are you producing phlegm that contains blood?
- Can you feel a pulse near your belly button?
- Are you experiencing chest pain?
- Do you have a hoarse or husky voice?
- Are you producing phlegm?
Treatment of Aortic Aneurysm
Treatment depends on the size and the rate at which the aneurysm is growing. Treatment can range from watchful waiting to emergency surgery in life-threatening cases.
