Symptoms of an aortic aneurysm can vary depending on its location and size. Common symptoms may include a sudden, severe pain in the chest, back, or abdomen, which can feel like a tearing sensation. Other signs may include shortness of breath, difficulty swallowing, or a pulsating sensation near the navel.
