A member asked:
If atrial septal aneurysm's don't cause pain then why do i have pain?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Not a true aneurysm: Atrial septal aneurysms are not "true" aneurysm like those that occur in blood vessels with a risk of rupture. Atrial septal aneurysms are simply an excess of tissue left over when you naturally closed your patent foramen ovale with tissue growing together to seal the atrial septum. There is debate about the significance of an atrial septal aneurysm among experts, but they do not cause pain.
