Firstly, thank you so much for your response to me and your ongoing support to so many others within this group. Sharing your insight was so valuable to me personally during such a stressful time. I thank you again for that.

Yes, something is definitely different with me as of recent. I plan on lightening up on my activity until I’m back in my home State. To make matters worse I am traveling and can’t wait to get back home. Thankfully not flying. I am scheduled for a CTA of my chest with contrast within the next week. However, the last time I had this type of test for my neck during an emergency ER visit and before I became aware of my AAA, my heart raced like I was in a full sprint all the while laying down. Pretty scary few minutes and I swore I would never do it again. In hindsight, my thoughts on this happening was either because of the AAA causing it or because I may be allergic to the Iodine they used for the contrast. I just conveyed that concern to my Cardiologist since he just ordered the same test. Waiting to hear back. I will update the board here accordingly.
