In the case of an aortic aneurysm (affecting the main artery), men may feel deep, persistent pain in the chest, abdomen, or back. The pain can be sharp or tearing and may worsen suddenly.
7. Shortness of Breath
Large aneurysms in the chest can press on the lungs or airways, causing breathing difficulties. This symptom can easily be mistaken for heart or lung problems.
8. Rapid Heart Rate or Low Bl00d Pressure
If an aneurysm ruptures, the body may go into shock. Symptoms include a fast pulse, dizziness, fainting, and a sudden drop in blood pressure. This is a medical emergency.
