Hello, I was recently diagnosed with a 4.2 ascending aorta dilation, Thoracic Aortic Aneurysm, I am waiting a second opinion from Mayo. In the interim, I do moderate exercise which includes, biking, weight strenghting classes where I use weights on a bar up to 20 pounds and single weights of up to 12 pounds in each hand; Zumba, Pilates, yoga, and cardio+resistance training. I was doing kick-boxing but stopped after the diagnosis. I am wondering if any of the other activities should stop as well.

You should find out from your provider what they want you heart rate and bp to be. I cannot get my hr over 80. Or bp over 120/80. Also I would ask about the weight lifting. I was told no static actions.
Nothing over 10 lbs. My decending aneurysm is 4.5.

I dissected in 2012. It was horrible. That was my ascending.
