Thanks. I wasn’t given much to go on, just the standard, don’t lift more than 30 pounds, keep my blood pressure under 130 (My diastolic is around 50 since the surgery) and take my pills (beta blocker, lypator). I do have a cardiologist now so I may ask him but I feel like if there isn’t a pill to prescribe then they won’t tell me it can be done.

I’ve incorporated a whole list of new daily routines (green tea, vitamins - saw a study on Vitamin C on rats 🤣, meditation, etc.) in hopes I can shrink the other 2. I didn’t have the EVAR surgery but the more evasive one. Taking it a day at a time, enjoying every second of it.

I have vascular EDS, many aneurysms, and dissections. Several family members died of aortic dissection and rupture. I have been on beta blockers for about 13 years to prevent vascular trauma from dissections and aneurysms. This, with Vitamin C therapy, has helped. No lifting.

@JustinMcClanahan Yes. I did in 6 months. 1st ultrasound tested for AAA in April 2025 had a 3.83 x 3.39 lower non bulging aneurysm. Had a 6 month follow-up ultrasound had 2.56 x 3.38. In April I told my PCP the 6 month will be smaller as I found a supplement that nonAAA research has addressed. It is recommended for heart and Arteries as it strengthens the connecting tissue. I figured the weak AAA walls would shrink a bit if they were strengthen like a weak saggy muscle pulls tight. So it either did or was a freak occurrence. A 9.3% reduction I read would be called significant. The supplement was Hartshorn Berry 565 mg from Swanson. This is not an add but not sure if the are all the same. I have a vascular surgeon meeting today to review the results and will ask for another 6 month follow up to see what happens.
