Symptom 8: Nausea or Vomiting
Nausea or vomiting can be another sign of a thoracic aortic aneurysm. Although less common, these symptoms can arise when the aneurysm’s pressure on surrounding structures in the chest interferes with the normal functioning of the digestive system.
Individuals with this symptom may feel a persistent sensation of queasiness or an urge to vomit. In more severe cases, they may experience actual vomiting episodes. It’s important to note that nausea and vomiting can have various causes, ranging from gastrointestinal issues to stress and anxiety.
As with other TAA symptoms, it’s vital to seek medical advice if you experience nausea or vomiting in conjunction with other signs of a thoracic aortic aneurysm. A healthcare professional can help determine the underlying cause and recommend appropriate treatment options. (7)
