5. Anxiety
Another symptom associated with aortic dissection is anxiety. There was one patient who was 51 years old and male. A few months before a thoracic aortic aneurysm, he was having increasingly severe anxiety and symptoms of panic. He has long suffered from PTSD for quite a long time thus they assumed this was the cause.
Palpitations and insomnia. Following the surgery, the patient has become stable and no longer suffered from the aforementioned symptoms. Anxiety is all too common in our high-stress modern world.
That being said, you shouldn’t ignore it. If you find that the anxiety gets increasingly worse as time passes, that’s likely because your physical condition is deteriorating. That may be due to an aortic aneurysm or even dissection. Whatever the cause is for your anxiety, it’s essential that you get yourself checked up so you can nip the problem at the bud before it’s too late.
