10 Abdominal Aortic Aneurysm Symptoms
Reviewed: Dr. Gromatzky
Symptom #8: Shortness of Breath
Our blood feeds our bodies with life-giving oxygen. It is essential to us; we would simply die without it. If there is a problem with the cardiovascular system then it can mean that the rest the body doesn’t get the oxygen it needs. In such cases, the body will often react to try and compensate.
Without enough oxygen flowing through the system, we will often feel as though we are short of breath. This will encourage us to breath harder in an attempt to make up for the shortfall. Unfortunately, in cases of a burst abdominal aortic aneurysm, this is unlikely to have the desired effect.
