Aortic dissections happen when the inner lining opens up allowing the blood flow to go directly in a wall of your aorta. What happens after it goes into the wall is it builds up pressure within your blood causing its lining to open up more and increase causing a lot of pain. When you have had a Aortic dissection it needs to be treated right away.
