Well Jeff, Welcome. You’re already on the right track as this is a great group of intelligent and understanding individuals. Ya need to get a damn good cardiologist next and Mayo probably got the best this country has to offer, and ya need to find someone who empathizes with your pain and is not afraid to keep you supplied with a good pain medicine and a 30 day supply at a time til they can figure out how to fix you up so you hopefully will be able to function without it which may or may not be the case. One can only hope, but I think that would be the best place to start. My name is Robert and I hope this will be of some use to you. Again, welcome!

Hi Jeff,
What a trooper you’re being with all the pain you’re having. I don’t have any pain from my aneurysm on ascending aorta. I think my condition is referred to as ATAA.
I also have 70-90% ischemia in my LAD and around 50% in my right artery. Fortunately, I was in the process of moving to Kentucky from Arizona and I got a new general practitioner and he ordered the cardio panel when he tested my blood. What a blessing that was because I found out that I have LP(a) numbers that are triple what’s recommended. Fortunately, too I am able to tell my two sons and they can be tested for it early. I understand that the number that you keep your entire life stays the same from age 4.

I agree with you, but I certainly hope searching is done in an expedited fashion!! It sounds like it needs repair ASAP!
