I was diagnosed in Feb 2008 of an aneurysm on a mobile echo machine at a family get-together. The tech volunteered to do this while enjoying wine and pizza.
She didn't know at the time that I had experienced sharp pains and discomfort after strenuous activity before. A year or two before this my PCP said Bp good, heart sounds good and I am considered extremely fit.
The echo showed immediatly what my concerns have been. The following day was the first time an expert could diagnose the dialation.
Before that and since the first diagnoses the pressure or pain has never really been talked about. Has anybody else experienced this feeling before you knew what it was. You usually only hear of the pain associated with dissection not dialation.
The Ct scan and MRI both show the same measurement with no signs of dissection.
Because of this pressure or pain I was able to convince my cardio office for a sooner than prescribed next echo and possible 2nd opinion by Stanford or Cleveland Clinic. This comes next Mon.
