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?

It depends on the height of the person. For someone shorter in height, 4cm could be serious

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.
