am I exercising too much with a 4.3 ascending aortic aneurysm?
I am a 60 year old female, who has been very active her whole life. I was a very competitive gymnast, then moved to triathlons, then to cycling and running, strength training has always supported these activities. I am a certified personal trainer, and the aneurysm is a new diagnosis as of Dec of 2022. it was shocking - I now have a heart condition. I ran a marathon 2 weeks after I turned 60. My Cradic surgeon has stated that I can train for a 50k (31 miles) race, as well as a 150 mile bike ride. I have a 50 lb lifting weight limit. My BP is low and I am on no medications. My questions are .. is the activity too much? I run 5-6 days a week plus strength training and biking. I have mild chest pain - all of this has been told to my doc. they keep telling me everything is ok - I am just so nervous about all of this - but want to keep doing what I love. Any input will be appreciated.

@trots72 Yes. It is the generic equivalent and was recommended to me by my Cardiologist. It is a lot less expensive than the original.
What one do you use I was looking at canada pharmacy services.

I had been paying $52 for a 90 day supply. Went up to $68 due to tariffs.
They are very easy to work with, just takes a long time for delivery because it comes from overseas.
The generic name is “Apixaban “ and my dosage is 5mg.
