Thank you for your reply! I really appreciate it! Does it make things any different if I am also having episodes of Afib and Tachycardia occasionally? Can that be related?

Thanks,
Matthew

The only thing I would add to moonboy’s post is to take care of your body, if you smoke stop, exercise (keeping in mind the restrictions he listed), it is important to keep your body as healthy as possible, exercise also helps the mind to manage anxiety and stress. At 4.0 you may never get to the point of needing surgery but if you ever do, having taken care of your body will pay dividends. I had my repair at 5.2cm 5 years ago and being in good shape helped me recover quickly.
