70 male , 4.8 cm ascending aneurysm, blood pressure

Posted by rickp24 @rickp24, Apr 7 9:48am

I am 70 years old. I have been aware of my aneurysm for about 4 years.
Discovered during a Gerd CT. My aneurysm is curently at 4.8 cm.
My blood pressure recently is 128 to 135 mostly over 70 to 75, pulse less then 60. I am on BP meds. Two types, depression med, Statin.

I have seen my doctor but they are not doing more to lower my blood pressure. I thought it should be like less then 120 at rest. My question is should I be worried about my BP not going much below 130. It does not seen to go over 150 during activity.

Interested in more discussions like this? Go to the Aortic Aneurysms Support Group.

Do you have a bicupsid valve as well? Mine is 4.2 to 4.3 and I understand about the stress !! I had myself worried so bad that my blood pressure was climbing . When it’s normally very good !
