This really resonates with me. I was diagnosed with a 4.3cm dilated Aorta and Aortic Root. I am 44, 6’4” and 230lbs. My cardio jokes that if I was her size this would be cause for concern but at my size it’s considered mild. She was not able to offer any specific exercise advice. Working out and weightlifting has been my primary life long hobby and now I just feel lost.

Husband has a 4.2 aneurysm, Dr told him not to lift over 50 lbs. No straining, I had to buy smaller luggage. He is going to be 80.
