Have a AAA

Posted , 7 users are following.

I have an AAA 4cm. Doctors at the VA says it's inflamed and not sure what to do about it. My problem is I'm have some pressure on my chest that comes and goes. Taking aspirin helps. Does anyone know if the chest pressure is normal with AAA.  Thanks!

    I had my AAA repaired in January of 17. It took about 12 years to get to a 5.3.

    I never had any indication that I had it and it never gave me any problems. I was 67 at the time of surgery and really I had no problems. I chose the repair using a stent.
