What Is an Aortic Aneurysm?
6. Abdominal Aortic Aneurysm Symptoms
As with a thoracic aortic aneurysm, an abdominal aortic aneurysm will often not show any symptoms at all. Most aneurysms will start small and, in many cases, they will remain small. In many cases, the aneurysm may never be detected, or it might be detected just by chance.
When symptoms do show, the patient will tend to feel pain in their back, while there may also be a pain deep in the abdomen and on one side. Some patients will also feel as though there is a throbbing close to their navel. These are symptoms you should get checked out if you have not done so already.
