  1. Not even sure how to spell Aneurism. But, here is my
    experience and my questions.

    Since I was a teenager, I would occasionally "get a lump in
    my throat". These things seemed to happen after a time of
    stress. I wouldn't even be thinking about it and then BANG
    I'd get this "lump in my throat". It would last for a few
    days and then just go away. It probably happened...5 times
    in 25 years. I could never figure out what the heck was
    going on with me. I still might be wrong, now.

    I believe I have an aneurysm in my chest/stomach area and
    that it gradually is tending to become more evident. Btw, I
    do not have health insurance and could not pay to have
    surgery anyway. That's not my concern.

    My questions: Can I live with an aneurism? What can I do to
    cause it to retreat in size? It is clear to me that when I
    have my emotions under control, when I am calm for several
    days, any sign of this pressure or swelling in that region
    will disappear.

    Vascular aneurysms typically are silent (ie no pain or
    discomfort) until they dissect/rupture. When/if the latter
    occurs, it is typically a severe "tearing" pain that goes
    from front through to back and few live to describe it.

    It should be a concern that you do not have health
    insurance.

    Why don't you have health insurance?

    It is not clear (actually doubtful) that you have an
    aneurysm.

    See a doctor to determine the source of your symptoms.

    If you are having symptoms, would suggest you see a doctor
    now. Otherwise, you should still see a doctor but would also
    suggest you obtain health insurance. Servant to the humblest

    That's *not* an aneurysm, and it's probably not worth an
    uninsured visit to a doctor. Read this entry in the Merck
    Manual for "Globus" ( merck.commmanua
    l/section3/chapter21/21e.jsp ). In the meantime, chill...
