I have previously posted regarding a strong pulse I have in my stomach (it's not just my stomach I noticed recently as my upper t shirt also moves), I felt very reassured after reading my replies and my HA has been barely there for a short while now.
However the last couple of days I am getting a mild sharp pain in my upper stomach kind of below the sternum. It only lasts a second at a time but now my mind is all over the place and again I am thinking of AAA.
I have heard (possibly on here) that you wouldn't feel any pain unless is ruptured which of course would be a medical emergency, so I know it hasn't ruptured but I can't help worry in case the sharp pain (albeit mild and short - lived) is due to the AAA becoming larger :-(
Any ideas? I'm not crazy anxious as I feel if it was something serious, I would know, but I wanted a bit reassurance before it gets out of hand again. I haven't been to the doctors in 5 weeks now, so have no intention of going back unless I absolutely have to.
Also about 10 weeks ago my dr felt my stomach because I was convinced I felt a lump just below my sternum (didnt mention AAA) and he said he couldnt find anything, would he have felt this had I actually had one?
Thanks in advance

I have stupidly googled 'aorta diagram' and my pain coincides with where the aorta is. It could also be liver pain? Hmm, why did I do that :-(
Just before bedtime too

Just remembered I'm at the Docs on Friday for a sick note for ESA. I'm going to mention it then because I'm really starting to freak out! Role on Friday!
(Wonder if it could be trapped wind).
