Knowledge is power. Find out the size first and foremost. Find a good cardiologist that has experience with aneurysms. Preferably one that works wkth a level 1 trauma center hospital. Find a cardiothoracic surgeon. If you're not comfortable with your care, get as many other opinions as you need to. Ultimately this is your life

1st realize we are each different persons, we each have different afflictions an Aortic Aneurysm has many potential causes, which is yours? That being said Controling Your Blood pressure is a PRIMARY concern 120/80 is "normal" contrary to what some including doctors will tell you Obviously if You "work" your Pressure will rise. 120/80 is Normal regular great numbers 140/90 as an average over extended time can cause Aortic Aneurysm... I've tryed to explain to folks with BP of 200/120 130 that the reason they have an Bubble ready to burst is because of the extensive pressure your putting your Body under ... I cannot force anyone to comply ... Nor can anyone else I am here Because this experience was my personal education. Get your pressure Below 120/80 , FIX your Cholesterol Numbers HDL (HIGH) and get the LDL DOWN LOW where it needs to be.... And Learn what triggers your Triglycerides, quit smoking if you do Period I woke after My life saving surgery and I quit right then and there That was October of 2009 I was given One Patch in the hospital for 31 days and when I got home I realized how rough I might be.... I was Given a script for the final step down Patch I wore One The 1st day and decided That was stupid .... I still have an unopened pack from the night I suffered MY Dissection..... Some folks Might have an "unknown" to them Genetic disorder, certain connective tissue disorders affect the Vascular system as well (Marfans, Loey Ditze , are 2 of the better known But there are some that have been identified but Yet to be "named" formally
