Aortic Aneurysms – When do you go to the ER?

To benjones: first off, you have to go to the ER with a blood pressure like that. But in the face of your aneurysm, you need followup with your cardiologist. Set up a plan. Second off: wyomingmiller how do you make your judgement call on whether your angina requires an ER trip or not, with your aneurysm sitting there? I struggle with this, and I am interested in how other people make their judgement calls. Thanks you two, for sharing!

Don’t get me wrong. I have gone to the ER twice with angina. I am just trying to figure out when it is intense enough coupled with other unexplained pains like something is happening with my aneurysm. Such as pain in my neck pain in my back, intense, sharp pain, those types of things. I have small vessel disease where three of the small vessels are 85 to 90% blocked, but they are inoperable due to the location of each of them being at the branch of the small vessel. so rather than pay for ER visits , I have tried to figure out what is real and what I can live with. It’s a hard call, but I check my Apple Watch despite the fact that the doctor doesn’t like it and I follow what I can see on an abnormal ECG. That gives me enough information that I know if something is really happening or not then is when I would make the call to go to the ER again. It is a very real and hard thing to figure out and we are all doing our best so everyone keep up the good work and live each day with purpose
