Hi everyone. I just joined this site today. Last week after having an x-ray I was diagnosed with an aortic aneurysm 4.0cm. It is Sunday today so I haven’t been able to talk to any other doctors or to any doctors for that fact. I also have rheumatoid arthritis which I guess can be a factor also again not sure. It seems kind of scary to me. My question to everyone is, should I be concerned?

I was diagnosed a couple of months ago on a Friday so I spent an anxious weekend with so many questions. I hear 'ya. I also have rheumatoid arthritis, so I hear you loud and clear. My AA is 4.2 and I think I also have a leaky valve but I try not to think about that. You need to see a cardiologist ASAP and go from there. Good luck. This group is a godsend.
