Doubtful: Not likely unless you have a collagen deficiency. More likely related to the anxiety. Need to know what the x-ray showed to be sure.

AAA very unlikely.: Hi CoryA, thanks for the question. I'm happy to discuss this with you. Without knowing anything about you, I can say the likelihood that you have a AAA is very, very low. These almost always occur in the elderly. You do have an increased risk if you happen to have a certain disease that generally makes you very tall and thin. Have you heard of Marfan's Syndrome? If not, AAA is very unlikely.
