Life Line Screening could save your life today
Several years ago I was having pain in the upper left side of my back so my doctor scheduled me for an ultrasound of the back and upper front of my body. The test results did not find anything that was causing my back pain but it showed some issues, one that can become a matter of life or death if not monitored on a scheduled basis.
The ultrasound showed that I had an Abdominal Aortic Aneurysm.
Why is this important in addition to the life or death threat? Testing for an Abdominal Aortic Aneurysm is not a routine screening when we get our annual checkup, it is generally found when testing for something else. This ultrasound was a blessing in disguise. My Abdominal Aortic Aneurysm was a dimension of 4.2cm. I am a diabetic that has probably contributed to this issue.
Diabetes wreaks havoc on your body in many ways.
I currently need to have an annual screening to determine if it is getting larger or staying the same.
Surgical treatment may be recommended for patients who have aneurysms that are:
• larger than 5 centimeters (two inches) in diameter
• quickly growing
• leaking
What is Abdominal Aortic Aneurysm?
Abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA) occurs when atherosclerosis or plaque buildup causes the walls of the abdominal aorta to become weak and bulge outward like a balloon. An AAA
develops slowly over time and has few noticeable symptoms. The larger an aneurysm grows, the more likely it will burst or rupture,
causing intense abdominal or back pain, dizziness, nausea or shortness of breath.
Why I recommend Life Line Screening
Life Line Screening helps millions of people to lead a healthy life every year since 1993.
According to the life line screening patient reviews, it is 100% legit and a better place to invest for your health. The Better Business Bureau gave it an A+ rating, you can trust the results of the tests.
Since aneurysms run in my family my daughter and I will use lifeline screenings on an annual basis in order to be proactive in knowing in advance if there are any additional issues we should be aware of.
We have lost an aunt and my niece, 45 years old, to brain aneurysms and we don’t want this to happen to us.
