Im 67 w/ a 4.2 AAA. Been watching it yearly with an echocardiagram and cat scan 2x since discovery at age 60.
About cough. It is my understanding that severe coughing can be problematic. My pcp prescribed benzonatate 100mg for an extreme cough following pneumonia last year. And I used it again recently at the tail end a cold.
