Hello my first text. Im Pat just diagnosed with aortic aneuysm in heat
Just diagnosed with aortic aneurysm getting CT scan on Wed to determine size. I had a heart attack 6 years ago, changed my food to whole food plant based, had good numbers at my visits. This caught me by surprise. I requested a stress test to check artery health. So glad I did. Hoping the number isn't high. Watching my bp every day and recording it; treadmill daily and other gentle exercises til i get clearance to use very light weights. Like 1 lb !
Glad to find this group and reading all your experiences. Thank you. Pat

You’re gonna be great. Now that you know you have an issue you’re gonna be able to deal with it and you don’t have to stress about it. Your doctors will take good care of you and Will monitor the size and the progression of any aneurysm. For now just take it easy. No deadlifts, no planking, and no marathons. Peace.
