My family doctor referred me to a cardiologist and he is doing the monitoring. The guidelines for monitoring were updated in 2022. You can read them if you want by googling 2022 ACC/AHA Guideline for the Diagnosis and Management of Aortic Disease. My cardiologist wants to check just slightly more often than the guidelines suggest. I plan to continue running, hiking and body weight exercises, he says I’m good to go traveling. He has put me on a statin to drop cholesterol and he wants to keep my blood pressure on the low side even though it wasn’t too bad to start with. Neither drug has had any side effects at all. I was lucky to get a referral that was good. Others on here probably have suggestions for finding doctors. If you don’t feel comfortable look for a different doctor, it’s easier if you are near a major metro area. I hope you find someone super good.
