When should I seek help for an aortic aneurysm?
Aortic aneurysms often develop without noticeable symptoms. Therefore, it is essential to have regular check-ups with your provider to detect and prevent the rupture of an aneurysm, which is a life-threatening event.
However, an aortic aneurysm rupture or dissection can cause symptoms. These symptoms may include:
Dizziness or light-headedness
Rapid heart rate
Severe and sudden pain in the back, chest, or abdominal region
If you have an aneurysm and experience these symptoms, seek medical attention immediately.
