?a cyst?: Not sure what is meant by 'a cyst on my aorta', or do you possess an outpouching more correctly termed an aneurysm. You should not have any lesions of the aorta, which is the major artery of the body. This requires explanation and further diagnostic confirmation. Meet .Your doctor and get both answers and advice asap.

Cyst = aneurysm?: If by cyst you mean aneurysm, then yes an aortic aneurysm can be serious depending on how large it is. They are typically treated at 5 cm in diameter. It is typically followed with ultrasound.
