10 Abdominal Aortic Aneurysm Symptoms
Reviewed: Dr. Gromatzky
Symptom #2: Pulsating Sensation
Our blood is pulsating through the cardiovascular system all the time. With each beat of the heart, the blood is pushed along the system until it does a complete circuit and starts the loop again. We don’t usually notice this is happening at all, but it can become more noticeable when we develop certain illnesses.
Patients with an abdominal aortic aneurysm will quite often experience a throbbing sensation in the abdomen, particularly close to the navel. Even then, it is only usually noticeable when the patient touches the area. It is caused as the blood is forced through the expanded blood vessel.
