Question 1

how bad is a7 inch stomach aneurysm?

Accepted Answer

Bad: By the way it is cm not inch -- let's not make it bigger ok.  7cm is more than twice the usual diameter of abdominal aorta -- so it must be followed closely by a vascular specialist!

Question 2

how do you tell a normal stomach pulse from an aneurysm?

Accepted Answer

Get checked.: it is not unusual for someone in their 20s to be able to palpate a pulse in the abdomen, particularly if they are thin. It would be extremely rare for someone in their 20s to have abdominal aortic aneurysm. If after an examination your doctor feels it is necessary to check, an abdominal ultrasound can differentiate the two. Good luck.

Question 3

my grandma has a stomach aneurysm. she is 81 dr does not want to remove it. what will this basically mean for her? is it just going to rupture?

Accepted Answer

Bring her here...: Possible, depending in size and location.......a repair can be done by placing agrft by cath ( angiogram type ). It does not involve surgery...

Question 4

my stomach pulse and fluttering, worried about an aneurysm!?

Accepted Answer

Probably nothing : Very thin patients can often feel their aorta and become concerned that it represents an aneurysm. At 30 an aortic aneurysm would be really unlikely unless you had a connective tissue disorder like marfan's or ehlers-danlos syndromes.

Question 5

if i have a strong pulse in my stomach, could it be an aortic aneurysm?

Accepted Answer

Possible: Thin people tend to feel their aortic pulse easier. If there is any concern or family history then you need a physician to examine you and probably get an ultrasound of the abdomen if there is any suspicion.

Question 6

okay but so worried my grandpa has congestive heart failure & an aneurysm in his stomach. will he die?

Accepted Answer

Someday: CHF implies he has a damaged heart and an aortic aneurysm has risk of rupture. However, it depends on how he is doing despite these diseases and what other conditions he has. His doctors will advise on course of treatment. Everybody dies someday no matter how healthy they've been. My advice is to make every day count with your loved ones, even those in perfect health.

Question 7

i have been having really bad pain where my stomach is and over to the left side what do i do?  i have a splenic artery aneurysm

Accepted Answer

Probably not: Splenic artery aneurysm is relatively uncommon and usually causes no symptoms. It can be detected by abdominal ct scan and sometimes sonogram. See your physician about your pain.

Question 8

my dad had an aortic aneurysm and had his aorta repaired. he says he's experiencing a burning sensation in his stomach now. what could it be?

Accepted Answer

Several possibilitie: Assuming his aneurysm repair was performed by a large abdominal incision, the burning could be related to the incision, the stitches used to close the incision, or adhesions inside the abdomen which occur after this operation.   If the repair was through the groin and placing a stent graft, this answer would not apply.  Need more information.

Question 9

i am worried about taking 75mg aspirin 6 months after coiling of unruptured brain aneurysm. i had tias after surgery) incase of stomach or brain bleed?

Accepted Answer

Aspirin/coiling: Ask your neurointerventionalist to be certain, but that long after coiling the aneurysm is probably not still a concern for bleeding.  It is generally felt that low dose Aspirin is not related to increased bleeding risk and provides significant benefit in terms of heart attack and stroke prevention.

Question 10

i have bloating, lower left quadrant pain, belching, and off and on stomach pain after eating. what can the cause be? is it aortic aneurysm?

Accepted Answer

GI cause: Symptoms are not very specific for a single cause but are related to your GI tract, possibly a food intolerance such as lactose.  These are not symptoms you would see with an aneurysm and you are much to young to be at risk for this.
