Celiac Artery Aneurysm: Anyone else with same illness?
Aortic Aneurysms | Last Active: 14 hours ago | Replies (509)Comment receiving replies
Hello .I see most of these posts are from a couple years ago. I hope someone is still out there. I have just been diagnosed with a 1.2. Celiac artery aneurysm. I went in with upper chest pain and the Dr. ordered a Ct scan of chest. Lungs were fine but incidentally found this aneurysm along with a dissection of the Sma. Reading a little here and there I feel quite frightened by all this. I see a vascular surgeon for a consult today. I think according to my GP, he is going to recommend only observing it. I wonder how you know if it is growing ,how dangerous is the wait and see approach?

What do you do for the pain under the right ribs? Mine goes up my right ribs into my shoulder blade and right side of the neck. I try to just breathe through it but it can be frightening since it seems to come out of no where and after a while (10 minutes maybe) it just goes. I would like to know what causes this symptom for those of us who have a celiac aneurysm.
I have pretty bad pain under my ribs. But mine is chronic so it's usually there and it just depends on how bad it is. My favorite solution is that I lie on a heat pad pillow that I put in the microwave. Sometimes I take cymbalta which helps but can make me feel sick to my stomach so I only take that if it's really bad. I end up lying down more than I'd like cause sitting really hurts and after a while so does standing. But I think it's important to walk to stay flexible. It's a viscous cycle.. too sedentary...gain weight... Ease pain ( do not like). It's all a payoff.
Not much else to do.
