Hello @sabrinaivey - welcome to Mayo Clinic Connect.

Reaching out to others with experiences to help learn as much as you can while maintaining your lifestyle and staying safe is a great sign that you are processing this difficult diagnosis as best you can. I'd like to invite @degarden_girl and @robinwe239 who discussed flying with this diagnosis. It is probably best to ask a cardiologist for a more definitive recommendation - is there a way you can send this question before your appointment if it does not line up with your travel plans?

@leonh also started a discussion recently on wanting to get back to exercising and their love of bicycling (https://connect.mayoclinic.org/discussion/exercise-1/). @kj10, @malcorozan, @bryanfox and @mermaid1 also discussed exercising with an aortic aneurysm and some of the anxiety that comes with that.
