10 Aortic Aneurysm Symptoms
Symptom #9: Early Satiety
Early satiety refers to the inability of eating a full meal or having a feeling of fullness despite only having a small amount of food. Patients with early satiety may experience the inability to consume a normal-sized meal, nausea and vomiting when trying to consume a normal amount of food, and a feeling of fullness after eating very little food. This can be seen in gastroparesis, gastric outlet obstruction, peptic ulcers, gastroesophageal reflux disease, and more.
In an aortic aneurysm, early satiety may be due to the increased abdominal pressure due to the growing size of the aneurysm.
