Yes, I had a heart scan and was told I have a celiac aorta dissection. I was not told a size or anything. My heart doctor just said that he would give me another heart scan in 6 months to see if it had grown. I also have kidney disease and my kidneys function around 46 to 57% GFR. And I had to have died with both the heart scan and the heart cath. But, I'm reading that you can have a very easy ultra sound that can tell you all about your abdomen aortic aneurysm. Also it said that it's not something that you just let go, but you should see if you need surgery to repair it. So, I don't know what to do, how much I can do, but no that this bulge under my breast is not normal.

The word was that I had to have dye with my scan and they leave my kidneys to repair before giving me another one. But I read that you can take other tests that can reveal the size of your dissection.
