The chances of you having an aortic aneurysm are about the chances of winning the lotto. Your body is talking to you. LISTEN & take good notes z. Share with Dr and u all will figure it out.

For diagnostic clarity I recommend X-Rays of the upper spine and if normal then an evaluation for possible esophageal disorder conducted by a gastroenterologist. Pulmonary, cardiac or aortic pathology seem unlikely.
