What Causes A Strong Pulse Around The Belly Region And Above?
For 3 years now I have severe belly pains. Many GI tests and all negative. I found out that my abdominal aorta is getting larger than normal from my cardiologist. There is a very strong painful pulse @ my belly button and to the left and above. When I touch it it causes more pain. My father passed from an AAA. What is this pain?

hai,
as you got a family history of AAA(Abdominal aortic aneurysm) and your abdominal aorta getting larger ,pain in belly button indicates the same condition of Abdominal aortic aneurysm.
pain May be due to Abdominal aortic aneurysm
certain phases are there in AAA. with the help of CT scan we can assess the condition and for further management and treatment.
thank you
hope answered your query.
