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

@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.

@dew88 see the below interview with Dr Prakash he talks about the issue and some of his efforts to share that knowledge

@dew88 unfortunately not all Drs are familiar with the latest in aortic research, you need a cardiologist who is an expert in aortic diseases and communicates with other researchers who study the effects of multiple factors on aneurysms ((like exercising) , hope you find one near you, it makes a difference
