Symptom 9: Sweating or Clammy Skin
Sweating or clammy skin can be another symptom of a thoracic aortic aneurysm, particularly if it occurs suddenly and without an apparent cause. This can result from the body’s response to the stress placed on the heart and circulatory system by the aneurysm.
Individuals with this symptom may notice an increase in perspiration or a cold, clammy sensation on the skin. In some cases, this may be accompanied by other symptoms, such as rapid heartbeat, shortness of breath, or chest pain.
It’s essential to recognize that sweating or clammy skin can also be caused by various other conditions, such as fever, anxiety, or certain medications. However, when these symptoms present alongside other TAA-related symptoms, it’s crucial to consult a healthcare professional for proper evaluation and guidance. (8)
