A member asked:
A lung xray shows the arorta is enlarged . is it dangerous? sendn me to heart dr.can too many aspirin over time cause this?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Needs eval: X-ray not best at accutately measuring size of aorta but good screening test. Has nothinig to do with aspirin. Heart doctor eval is the right thing to do. Will probably order a CAT (CT) scan of your chest which will provide important information. Good Luck.
