My doctor has not given me any target #’s to aim for. But that said, my BP has been consistently low since I have been with this doctor, after a very long time of it being way too high- always over 140/80 (and way higher than that in Dr office ). It took a long time to keep experimenting with the meds I take but now I’m always under 120/80.

I had a dissection at 4.5cm. I had only known about my aneurism for a year. It was 4 cm when discovered. I have been told not to lift, push, or pull anything that would cause me to hold my breath, strain, grunt, anything like that. Remember I have had the surgery. After surgery my BP were what they considered a little high. After 6 months they added Metropol by 1/2 tablet and said they wanted my BP below 120/80. I didn't have high BP before but since I had surgery they didn't want it in the 130's or higher. I have been doing well. I hope this helps you. Best wishes.

I believe everyone is different my TAA is around 4.1 CM I am having another scan next month to be sure. Mine was found on a Calcium CT scan in December so it was an incidental finding the report stated that the Ascending Aorta is aneurysmal and measures up to 4.1 cm. Anyway the Cardiologist said she wanted my BP to be no higher than 130/80. I am on meds and have been for a long time I take it a couple of days a week and it is well w/in the range. I also have been doing a lot of research about the margin of error on these scans and there seems to be some difference in the measurements depending on how it's measured and which test it's found on.
