Can The Nerves Aggravate The Abdominal Aortic Aneurysm?

I just had an Ultra sound done for AAA (Abdominal Aortic Aneurysm) and waiting on the results. I have a healthy life style in every department. I have had this ball above my belly button since I was 5 yrs old and now I'm 37. It only comes up with nerves or when I’m upset. Can Nerves aggravate AAA since it seems that is the only time I get the pulsating ball in my stomach? Or can there be another reason for this pulsating hard ball that I need to look into it?
