YSK that an aortic aneurysm can cause no symptoms
Why YSK: An aortic aneurysm is a weakened area of the aorta that bulges outward. Some cause no symptoms and may only be found through imaging.
Risk factors can include older age, smoking, high blood pressure, atherosclerosis, and a family history of aortic aneurysms.
Sudden, severe chest, back, or abdominal pain can be a medical emergency. If you have risk factors, ask your doctor whether screening is appropriate.
