Hi, my name is Heather. About 9 months ago during a scan for another issue my doctors found I have an abdominal aortic aneurysm (up to 3cm) and a right common iliac aneurysm ( up to 2.2cm). Apparently it is very rare for someone my age, sex and health and the shape of them is also very strange apparently. I’m 47, female and otherwise in good health. I am an ex smoker however. And my grandfather died of a ruptured aneurysm in his 50’s. My aneurysms are both the saccular and apparently even stranger that they have a very odd shape to them both. Almost like a tube. I’ve read saccular aneurysms and being female are both circumstances that make them more likely to rupture. About 5 months ago I had a full body MRI to check the rest of my arteries and it came back ok, thankfully. I had to ring the vascular specialist’s office this month (January)to ask when I’d be sent for another scan and after a few days they told me it would be May- over a year after the first scan. I presume the MRI would have been used to also check any growth development in the two they’d found already? I may also have a small umbilical hernia. In the last couple months I’ve been getting a dull intermittent pain around and to the right of my belly button. Should I be worried about this? I mentioned it to the receptionist when I called the vascular specialist to ask about getting a scan. So I’m guessing they aren’t worried, although she never directly spoke of it to me, but it’s making me very nervous. Any suggestions as to what, if anything, I should do? At what point should someone go to the emergency room if they have pain in the area where their aneurysms are? Thank you.
