Do Pulsing Sensations In Stomach And Lower Right Side Indicate Atherosclerosis Of Aorta?
Question: I've been having some signs of Atherosclerosis of aorta : pulsing up high in my stomach and lower right side, burning in my toes. Not feeling well but I can't put my finger on it.
Brief Answer:
Following answer to your query.
Detailed Answer:
Hi and thank you for asking!
I read your query and understood your concerns.
What you are experiencing doesn't necessarily mean that you have problems with atherosclerosis of aorta. The more accurate sign is the absence of pulse on the legs.
In order to exclude / confirm the diagnosis I would like to suggest to do:
- an abdominal ultrasound
- echo doppler of both legs
Hope this will be of help!
Wish you health!
