@cacamik my cardiologist is an expert in aortic diseases and has done studies related to exercising and aneurysms , Dr Prakash, the same one of the videos that have been posted, but he is in Texas. Two things though: at 5.0 getting a surgeon to be dismissive in my mind is not acceptable, I would look for a second opinion, second I asked Dr Prakash about wearable BP monitors for when exercising, he flat out told me there are no devices that can properly do that. They are just too sensitive to movement. Some people take it quickly after exercise but even a few seconds after, your BP has already dropped from its peak

Mine was repaired at 5.2cm, it was found after an MTB accident , both my surgeon and cardiologist were incredibly receptive and helpful, we all deserve to have proper care.
