If you are a smoker and over the age of 75 then ask your physician about having screened (confirmed) for abdominal aortic (AAA) aneurysms. The earlier the screening is done, the less chance there is that you will get AAA aneurysms. People who smoke and have hypertension also have a higher chance of getting AAA aneurysms.
Both men and women may have AAA aneurysms, but it is most common in men who smoke
A woman usually gets an abdominal aortic aneurysis (AAA) during pregnancy, or if she has a family history of AAA, or if she has had a family history of AAA treatment. Symptoms to look out for are chest pain, nausea, abdominal pain, and fainting. However, you should not wait until you feel any of these symptoms before taking abdominal x-ray.
When you have an abdominal x-ray, it will show the aortic valve and coronary arteries. Once you are diagnosed with AAA, you will be prescribed treatment. Treatment can include surgery, and depending on what you have, the procedure can be considered a preventative measure. Surgery is not the only treatment option for AAA aneurysms. There are a number of non-surgical procedures that can be performed to try to prevent further damage to the artery walls.
One of the best ways to treat a heart attack is to keep track of your weight as it relates to your overall health. If you are obese and do not exercise, you are more likely to get abdominal aortic eurysm than if you are not overweight.
Risk factors for AAA aneurysm increase with age. People who smoke who are at increased risk of heart attack are more likely to develop AAA aneurysms. The risk of developing aneurysms in women is especially high. If you have been treated for heart disease and your heart attacks have left scarring on your heart muscle, you are also at a greater risk of developing heart attacks.
The symptoms associated with AAA aneurysms are often the same symptoms of heart disease, so if you have any symptoms of heart disease that you are noticing then you may want to have your abdomen X-rayed to see if you have AAA aneurysms. Sometimes, people who have heart disease will notice that they experience chest pains or pressure while they are asleep.
Sometimes they will notice that there are some problems breathing, nausea, dizziness, or fainting
If you have abdominal aortic problems that do not seem related to heart disease, then you should make an appointment to see your physician for a regular check up. It is best to have your abdomen X-rayed every year to monitor the progress of your disease and to make sure that you are doing things right to prevent further damage.
If your doctor recommends that you have an abdominal x-ray, it is important to follow his or her recommendations in order to avoid complications from damage to the heart muscle and arteries. If you feel that you need treatment for your AAA aneurysm, you should go to your primary care physician so that they can work with you to find the best treatment that is right for you.
Some of the treatments for AAA aneurysm include medication and surgery. Some patients receive both medications and surgery and some patients may have only one type of treatment. If you are not happy with your treatment choices then you should discuss these options with your doctor and talk about your preference with them.
Before deciding on what type of surgical options to use for treating your abdominal aortic problems it is a good idea to talk to your doctor about what other methods of treatment might be more appropriate for you. Sometimes it is a good idea to wait until you are completely treated to try other options and this might mean waiting for your doctor to decide on whether to use traditional medicine or a non-invasive procedure.
Treating your abdominal aortic problems can be a difficult process but it is essential that you do everything you can to treat it. There is no reason that your aortic valve cannot be repaired and if you are not careful you can end up with a heart disease. Your family doctor can help you with this important step in the recovery process and they can also be a resource in the future if you are thinking of having another child.
