What you may notice
Symptoms can overlap with other conditions and vary between people.
- Often no symptoms
- Chest, back or abdominal discomfort
- A pulsating abdominal sensation in some cases
Understanding care
Clinical care may include imaging, size monitoring and specialist assessment of repair risk. A qualified clinician decides which investigations and options fit the individual situation.
When to seek help
Sudden severe chest, back or abdominal pain, especially with fainting or collapse, needs emergency services immediately. Known aneurysms require the planned specialist follow-up.
For severe breathing difficulty, collapse, suspected stroke, or another emergency, call local emergency services immediately. In India, call 112.
