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.

Yes that is true. My cardiologist said most are not found until it’s too late. Heart disease runs in my family too- but I never had or have high BP, never smoked or have any other real health concerns. I never saw this coming. I am rooting for you!😊
