A member asked:

Strong pulse in abdomen, i can see and feel. is it aaa or taa? i am so worried, im 19, and have no insurance. what should i do?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Unless you have: A genetic predisposition for arterial aneurysms, it is rare for a 19 year old to develop an aortic aneurysm. But, only a physical examination and imaging studies can tell for sure. You should be seen by a medical professional to be sure.
