Detailed Answer:
Hello,

Thanks for writing to Health Care Magic, I am Dr Muhammd Ahmad, I have closely read your question and I understand your concerns, I will hereby guide you regarding your health related problem.

According to you description of symptoms there does not seem to be anything dangerous in this scenario. I can well understand you must be cincern about carrying aneurysm risk after your father died of this but usually this happens in people with some connective tissue disorders, long standing hypertension, diabetes or high cholesterol.

There there is usually pain in acute cases they arent silent pulsations are felt too in abdomen of the place of aneurysm.

If you dont have any above mentioned co morbid there should not be anything to worry about.

I would suggest you not to panic, this can happen to one occasionally and not a big problem, it happening just once is not significant but if this happens again then you should consult your GP. I am quite positive that this will not happen again.

I hope this answered your question, if you have more feel free to ask,otherwise close the discussion and rate it.

Regards.
