I was also diagnosed with AAA last January. It’s now 4.3 and I’m also so afraid and unsure. I do see a thoracic surgeon and now I will be checked again in 3 months. Also having a hard time coping. My cardio Dr upped blood pressure meds Ari keep my pressure low. Seems to be working. But, still anxious for my next visit. I try not to constantly worry but can’t help myself. Wishing you well.

I understand your anxiety. I live with it too. Every twinge seems like the end of the world. But you can't stay scared. I think that sooner or later, we get used to our changed circumstances and learn to live with it--for now. Let your doctor know how anxious you are. We need all the support we can get.
