I just came from Dr appointment and was told you can't believe the ecocardiograms, my Aorta aneurysm was 5.1, now he says the CT shows 4.5 and not to worry, good bye! He doesn't do anything until 5.5, And no follow-up. I believe it has to do with my age 84. But I have dizziness, short of breath and fatigue low SpO2.Now what?!!!!

Your Aortic aneurysm is still not worrisome until it reaches over 5.5 and then if you are over 80yrs old the risks of the surgery may be more than the risks of keeping your aneurysm . that is what my surgeon said about mine at 4.9cm and 80 yrs. Your symptoms may be unrelated to your aneurysm, so look elswhere for the cause.
