An abdominal aortic aneurysm is a condition in which the aorta, the main blood vessel that carries blood to the body, becomes enlarged and pushes against the wall in your abdomen, creating an abdominal bulge. If an aortic aneurysm becomes weak to the point where the internal layers of the aorta separate or burst, it can become a life-threatening situation requiring immediate medical attention.

Symptoms of Abdominal Aortic Aneurysm

Because abdominal aortic aneurysms develop gradually over time, most people don’t experience noticeable symptoms until a medical emergency occurs.

If an aneurysm bursts or leaks, you may have the following symptoms:

A rapid pulse
Clammy skin
Feeling faint or passing out
Severe or sharp chest or abdominal pain

Causes of Abdominal Aortic Aneurysm

An abdominal aortic aneurysm is caused by weakness in your artery wall. Over a period of time, pressure on your artery wall causes the weak area to expand and bulge out.

Risk factors for abdominal aortic aneurysms include:

Age older than 60
Family history of aortic aneurysm (genetic connective tissue disorders)
High blood pressure
High cholesterol
History of smoking
Inflammation of the aorta
Male gender

Talk with your doctor about ways to reduce your risk factors. Regular physical exams can help diagnose potentially high risk conditions before they lead to further complications.
