Can Coughing Increase Size and Risk of Aortic Anuerysm

Just as violent coughing can cause or damage aneurysms because of the pressure and friction that it causes, and should be controlled and if possible avoided, you should also take note of the following study:
Antioxidant Vitamin C attenuates experimental abdominal aortic aneurysm development in an elastase-induced rat model.

After using 1000mg Vitamin C per day for 6 months, my celiac trunk aneurysm seems to have shrunk with 5mm.
Might be coincidence?
But I take Vitamin C, 1000mg per day, each day since.

Interesting! I use several supplements for energy as I am fatigued easily. Cal/mag, collagen, and blood pressure meds all help me function each day. I have insomnia and use Trazadone, which my system gets adapted to so I try different ones to vary them. Sleeplessness is very wearing and tiring and hard on my heart so I keep experimenting to get enough sleep.

I wish my cardiologist would have told me the danger of coughing. They seemed surprised I even asked and said they felt it would not affect the aneurysm since it was acute and not chronic. I read about vitamin C but cannot find a study on it that relates to the ascending aorta - only abdominal. Have you read any regarding the ascending? Thanks !
