Aortic Aneursym? Please read

Hello, I'm a 21 year old male non-smoker with good blood pressure. I have fullness in the abdomen area and every once in a while I can feel my pulse in my stomach, which I know can be normal. I recently had a CT scan of my abdomen. I was wondering if this ct scan would show an aortic aneurysm? My CT scan came back negative, but I was wondering if this test would show some trace of an aortic aneurysm? I've also had an echo of the chest which I've heard can show too? Please respond

Unless the CT was done with contrast it won't properly image the aorta. That said, it's extremely unlikely that a 21 year-old male with normal BP would have an AAA. You should discuss this with the doctor that ordered the CT and ask him/her.

Why on earth would you be worried about an AAA?
