I've provided a link to some helpful information regarding 'Abdominal Aortic Aneurysm'. Considering the information you shared about your recent diagnosis a cardiac surgeon, one who specializes in disease of the aorta, should be consulted immediately. There are too many variables to consider and each person must be evaluated individually however a 6cm AAA does sound extremely high risk. Again, only a cardiac surgeon is qualified to give you the best advice and treatment plan.

@mimiz thank you for your response and the link. I do have an appointment with a vascular surgeon on Monday (that was the soonest I could be seen) and my concern is that I have a rupture before then. So I am trying to be as careful as possible but have not been given much direction from the cardiologist other than do not do anything strenuous.
