@fpignanelli controlling BP is the key factor when having an aneurysm but if yours is normally low (those numbers are low) it may seem overkill to give you several medications for it but we don’t have the whole picture.

Getting a second opinion is always good, a cardiologist who specializes in aortic diseases should be able to give you more answers.

If yours are not already (I’m sure you are) make sure you are monitoring your BP daily roughly at the same time everyday before any BP medication and keep a log, that will give the cardiologist a lot of information.

@houston13
I am monitoring my BP & seeking a second opinion from a doctor that I hope will explain the reason for any necessary treatment to me.
Thanks for your response.
