Diagnosed With Atherosclerosis Of Abdominal Aorta, Pain In Stomach, Back And Ribs. Any Further Tests To Confirm ?

I have been diagnosed with athroscloris of the abdominal aorta, I have been having pain in my stomach and on both sides of my back along my ribs. I have had some fatique and just not feeling good. The last few days I've felt some mental confusion and sometimes feel out of breath. I have had the pulsating feeling in my belly for many years. The athroscloris was found when I went to the hospital with severe stomach pain. This is really scaring me because I have not had any additional testing and still having a lot of pain after a month.

hi dear and welcome to healthcare magic....
some degree of atheroscleroses will always occur in abdominal aorta after the age of 50 years....and atheroscleroses is not painfull by itself....
so in my view it was a co diagnoses,and not the real pathology,,,cause of your abdominal pain seem some where in in stomach,gallbladder etc....
so i advise you to do your base line,including complete blood picture,urine R/E,ESR, renal function test,liver function test...
