What makes ascending thoracic aortic aneurysms increase in size?

Look, I respect your religious beliefs and your belief in God. Nevertheless, God put doctors here and Medicine here so that we can benefit from it and not ignore reality. I dissected almost 10 years ago. It was sudden and absolutely unexpected. It was literally the worst thing that’s ever happened to me and I can tell you that I was so incredibly miserable in a coma that I would’ve done anything to meet God and stay. What I went through was an absolute hell. So, hold onto your belief in God, but listen to your doctors because they were put here by the same God to help you. You don’t shrink an aneurysm with diet and exercise. An aneurysm gets bigger over overtime. You may have stabilized yours and that’s good, but once you get above 5 cm you’re gonna be a candidate for surgery and you’re right on the border. So keep praying but don’t ignore the gifts you’ve been given in the form of a world class thoracic surgeon and top-notch medical care put here by God to help you. Peace.

Moonboy you are so correct. The same God I pray to daily is the one who encouraged the practice of medicine. Why just bless me when I pray to you God. You are much wiser and use your docctors to perform your miracles; then both the doctor and myself receive your blessings. Correct again, aneurysm don't shrink or go away.

I am right there with you moonboy. God does not always reach down with his almighy arms and heal us. He shares that blessing by working through highy trained medical providers, ie: Cardiothoracic Aorta Specialist. I have seen that personally, Years ago I prayed and prayed for Gods hand to tough my body and heal it. I could not understand why he did not hear and heed my deepest most earnest prayers. Through a series of events, I was referreed to a surgeon who gave me a whole new lease on life. It was only afterwards, that I realized God was blessing my surgeon by enabling him to successfully remove my ailment. We were both blessed by God.
