What ae the symptoms of aortic aneurysm?

Most aortic aneurysms do not cause any symptoms. Usually they are discovered when an imaging procedure like an ultrasound test or CT scan is performed during screening or unexpectedly when the test is performed for some unrelated reason. Sometimes people with an abdominal aortic aneurysm will notice a bounding pulse in their belly or they may have abdominal, chest or back pain. A leaking or ruptured aneurysm is a life threatening emergency requiring immediate medical attention.
