It's odd really, I posted in the other thread about pounding heart, I've actually never considered an AAA.
I mean my whole body rocks, if I lay on my bed with my laptop on my lap its bouncing all over the place. I can see why you'd consider an AAA!
I used to be overweight, not hugely but definitely a bit too chubby! I was about 115kg, I've got rid of most of that now, I'm down to about 80kg. My problems actually started after the weight loss (I don't think they are related but) I kinda assumed it would be more obvious if there was less padding to hide it? If I put anything on my stomach it would get bounced off, my pulse is very obvious. I wouldn't say theres any sort of bulge though.
I had a CT scan/contrast but I guess that only did my heart/lung area and didn't go any lower. It just said my lungs were clear of anything sketchy and my Aorta looked good (despite going for a scan on my heart they never even mentioned it, I don't know if thats good or bad)
For me its something I've had for the best part of 20 years now, something happened about 18 months ago which made it worse and its stuck ever since. (I have no idea what) No one seems fussed and I have such a massive phobia of seeing doctors I'm foolishly playing the "I've not dropped dead yet, so I'm probably fine" card instead of trying to get it sorted, I'd love to reduce the general annoyance of it though, It's wrecking my sleep.
