Hi I was told yesterday that I have a fusiform aneurysm of the celiac artery. They said it was 1cm, it was found on the CT scan. I went to ER I was having intermittent epigastric area pain that radiates into my upper back, between my shoulder blades. When the pain was intermittent it was after eating and then it was constant for 2days. I was worried something was going on with my heart, I’m 57 and have hypertension. They said my heart enzymes were negative and ekg was good, then they did CT and found the celiac artery aneurysm. I didn’t know how rare it is until I looked it up. I could tell the ER doctor wasn’t familiar with it by the look on her face. What I’m wondering has anyone who has a celiac aneurysm have any similar symptoms as mine? I’m going to make an appointment Monday with my primary doctor, since it’s this weekend this occurred. I would appreciate any information anyone can give me. It’s kinda overwhelming.
