There are some symptoms that can be a warning sign of suffering from an abdominal aortic aneurysm. Some of them are a throbbing feeling in the abdomen, deep pain in your back or side and steady, gnawing pain in your abdomen that lasts for hours or days.

Barry Katzen, Founder and Chief Medical Executive at Miami Cardiac and Vascular Institute, says these symptoms are very vague, they are frequently attributed to other problems. Some of the thoracic aortic aneurysm symptoms are pain in your jaw, neck, back or chest; coughing or hoarseness and shortness of breath, breathing or swallowing problems.
