How can I tell if I have an AAA?
Talk to your doctor if you have a higher risk of an AAA or if you have any of the symptoms. Your doctor may order a test called an ultrasound. An ultrasound provides a picture of your organs by passing sound waves through your body. It can help measure the size of your aorta.
