Can Coughing Increase Size and Risk of Aortic Anuerysm
Aortic Aneurysms | Last Active: 16 hours ago | Replies (34)Comment receiving replies
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 !

I have not checked further.
I saw the study I referred to and applied the principle and it seems as if it is working for my celiac artery aneurysm.
However, I believe the same principles are applicable to all arteries with aneurysms and no harm should come from trying to help yourself.
Discuss it with your specialist... and then follow your gut-feel or instincts...
If your doctor knew about this and did not apply it to you, he/she obviously believe that it is anecdotal and not worthwhile trying.
(Then you have a choice to make.)
If he/she did not know about the study that has an effect in his/her specialist environment, then the science behind it will be questioned and ridiculed in order to save face...
