I have a lower abdominal aortic aneurysm 4.9 cm. I also have chronic COPD and cough pretty hard most of the time after 58 yrs of smoking. My coughs has never been a danger to my aneurysm. It's been holding steady at 4.9 for a good period of time now. Hope this helps you.

Thank you! I am glad to hear it idid not affect your aneurysm. I wonder if an Ascending Aortic would be more likely to suffer negatively because of the proximity to the lungs? I hope I get an answer from a doctor soon. Thanks so much for your reply! Hope you stay well. Sincerely, Melanie
