Ascending aneurysm how fast do they grow?

Hello fellow Atlantic Canadians. I am in Nova Scotia. I have an aorta and celiac artery aneurysm. I find the doctors in Halifax very easy going if it comes to following me. I have only talked on the phone with a vascular surgeon since my diagnosis in 2022. I have had 1 CT angiogram scan for it and one for the connective tissue clinic where they discovered I had an aorta aneurysm as well.
There hasn’t been any advice besides no heavy lifting. I keep an eye on my blood pressure, but for the rest….i don’t know.
I suspect I might have Ehlers Danlos syndrome (I have quit a few symptoms), but I can’t get a referral for genetic testing. I don’t have a family doctor. Mostly I learn about aneurysms is by Googling it and reading medical research papers.🙂

You can order genetic testing on your own. You do not need. Doctor to order for you. It is not very expensive. One firm that is set up to be customer patient friendly is invitae. Just google them.

The website for one genetic testing firm where you can order yourself is http://www.invitae.com
