A member asked:
If i stress my abdomen because of fear aorta will burst, during exercise, could it constrict when it should expand? how much can u thinking effect?

You seem quite: anxious. Your brain is more likely to be stressed by fears your aorta will burst (unfounded fears), and the aorta should neither expand or constrict when you're healthy. Your thinking affects your overall health, but is not going to act selectively on your abdominal aorta.
