Thank you! This is incredibly kind and valuable information.

My last MRI was December 3rd. Genetic Counseling will not happen until March 15, 2025. I pray that I don't pass this along to my son.

All of this is so new. The meds are keeping my BP down, but causing a lot of side effects- including an over active bladder, which has not been fun.

I am in pain, but it isn't sharp get to the ER pain. It is a nagging pressure pain. My Cardiologist swears it isn't heart or aorta related, but I think I need another opinion.

Right now I would do anything for a good night sleep and a few hours of not being in pain.

I'd follow Moonboy's advice and get a second opinion asap for reassurance if nothing else. When I was first diagnosed, I had chest pain and was certain something was wrong. My cardiologist said it was muscular and I now think it was probably stress and anxiety, but you need to have your anxiety relieved. Don't just accept it. These things may be routine for our doctors but they're not routine for us and we deserve the attention we need. I'm always polite, compliant, and grateful, but I do ask for what I need. This group is quite literally a lifesaver.
Best wishes to you.
