@ewei6911 I have posted this video before, it’s Dr Andrew Huberman talking about exercising not related to aneurysms but about lifting weights and BP, around minute 1:49 they start talking about the impact of holding your breath while exerting on BP, you will get a feeling for the impact of those peaks, imagine getting to those levels with an aneurysm, very dangerous https://youtu.be/nE4mvAWZKXw

My workouts do not include lifting weights, only light hand weights. Any reading using the blood pressure wrist monitor would be at a standstill. I just got delivery of the monitor so will try it at the gym next week.
The video mentions squats at 2:11 and 7:14 marks very briefly. My thoracic surgeon had ruled out doing squats which puzzled me, but now it was probably assuming squats being done with heavy weights and the video infers. Sad, because so many exercises that will have to be stopped because of the aneurysm, including after recovery.
