I have read nothing over 30#. Or would it be less? Feed bags for chickens are 40#. It looks like I won't be able to do much of anything. And do the docs make you wait to get surgery until it's almost too late? What about riding the lawn mower? I've read so much on the Internet that my head is spinning, and I feel so hopeless. You are a blessing to respond and encourage everyone! Thank you.

I posted this some time ago, this is a discussion between Dr Andrew Huberman and Dr Andy Galpin, (both higly respected and popular scientists) regarding exercise and the rise of BP, that discussion starts around minute 1:49, you don't need to watch the whole video, but I found it to be one of the better explanations as to how lifting weights and overexerting can punctually raise your BP. They are not talking specifically about aneurysms just the relationship between exercise and BP. The levels they describe are dangerous for someone with an aneurysm, I actually found it amazing that the BP can be raised so high, although for a few seconds.
As @moonboy has said, take care of our body and yourself, keeping your body healthy, staying active not only lowers your BP naturally but also improving your body health raises the probability of surgery success and rapid recovery. I had mine 5 years ago and my recovery was very quick, out of the hospital in 5 days, back to work in 3 weeks.
All the best

This group is like a second family. We need our doctors and depend on them, but when it comes to the emotional and psychological stuff, the answers are here. Life is different after diagnosis.
