I see my cardiologist on Tuesday and the geneticist in November. That was the earliest I could get an appointment with her. I'm not aware of aneurysms in my family but there was lots of heart disease so I always expected something would eventually go awry with my heart. I never expected this. I've had high blood pressure but it's been under control with medication. I haven't had any other symptoms, which I guess is how it works with aneurysms. They can sneak up on you. We're lucky, if you can call it luck, that ours were found.
