I feel the same as you and checking out a second opinion, but having difficulty getting into major hospital system with a good cardiology department specializing in aortic aneurysms. Are you on a blood pressure medication?

I am curious as to what you want a second opinion on?
Do you want measurements done more frequently? Do you want surgery earlier than the current guidelines?

Have you tried Mayo? They responded to my request to be seen within a week. Now I don’t go there until September for my appointment, but that is okay. I want to have the best surgeon on hand when it comes time for surgery.

I am not on medication. I am trying to lower it on my own by changing my diet and doing light exercise. It does seem to be working so hopefully I can avoid medication. Lowering my stress level though has been hard because I am worried about this getting larger.
