Thoracic aortic aneurysms often grow slowly. There are usually no symptoms, making them difficult to detect. Many start small and stay small, although some grow bigger over time. How quickly a thoracic aortic aneurysm may grow is difficult to predict. As a thoracic aortic aneurysm grows, signs and symptoms may include:  Back pain Cough Weak, scratchy voice (hoarseness) Shortness of breath Tenderness or pain in the chest  Signs and symptoms that a thoracic aortic aneurysm has ruptured or dissected include:  Sharp, sudden pain in the upper back that spreads downward Pain in the chest, jaw, neck or arms Difficulty breathing Low blood pressure Loss of consciousness Shortness of breath Trouble swallowing  Some aneurysms will never rupture or lead to dissection.
