I have a 4.4 ascending aneurysm and through the whole month of Dec , coughed like a demon! I used a lot of buckleys!!!! Cough and cold meds can be iffy for BPressure . I’m female and in the shorter side . I have an echo scheduled for June . So we shall see if it’s gotten bigger?? Did I worry ?? I sure did !!!!!

I dissected completely and suddenly in 2015. I am very lucky to be alive. It is a horror show, I can promise you. I'm not sure when you got that 4.4cm reading, but if it was more than a year ago, I'd get a CT scan with contrast done immediately at the best imaging center you can find in a major heart care center (Mayo, Cleveland Clinic, UCSD, U of Minnesota, U of Texas - Houston, etc.). Just saying...peace.
