Can Coughing Increase Size and Risk of Aortic Anuerysm

What is the number where an aneurysm diagnosis begins? I was under the impression it was 4..0 but now I see lower numbers. Where do we start counting?

That's an excellent question. From the literature I have read it is anything greater than 50% of the diameter of the vessel and I've also have read 4cm. I am waiting on follow up with my Dr. to have some further discussion about my situation. Right now they are referring to it as "slight dilation" which I hope stays just as it is and doesn't get worse.
