Weakness <\/a>is another symptom that you might experience if you\u2019re suffering aortic dissection. When aortic dissection occurs, the blood being pumped out from the left ventricle of your heart will flow between the layers of the aorta\u2019s inner wall.<\/p>\n\n\n\nSeeing as that\u2019s the case, less blood being pumped out of your left ventricle will actually make it to the rest of your body. The decreased blood flow will thus make you feel weaker. In some cases, only one side of the body will be weaker. Cases in which only one side of the body is entirely disabled can also occur as we explained in the previous symptom.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
If the aortic dissection came as a result of a thoracic aortic aneurysm then you might notice the weakness in your legs first, even during the aneurysm phase. If you notice weakness in correlation with one or more of the symptoms on our list then seek immediate medical care.
