am I exercising too much with a 4.3 ascending aortic aneurysm?

I wonder the same thing, I’ve been diagnosed with a 4 cm ascending but also with 2 leaky heart valves, my mitral and tricuspid. I have always been very active but worry about pushing myself. I was told I can continue to exercise but not lift over 15 lbs . I have been noticing I’m a breath holder so trying to focus on breathing. I’m 120 lbs so he said 4 cm is big for my size 🤷🏻♀️

@gladifoundthissite Same thing, diagnosed with a mitral valve prolapse 12 years now and no problem,. Also 1 year diagnosed with a ATAA 4.2 and so far no follow up recommended by my primary care doc. But will start looking for a cardiologist to determine what the status is on that currently. I am beginning to think that a lot of diagnosis'' are sounding a little like common medical cliche' For example; "due to your size, that is big" or keep up the exercise", etc. rather than ask what type of exercise do you do, then discuss his recommendations based on your answers. Why do they do that? Maybe its because they cannot be sued for issuing medical cliche' type answers.
