I have a 4.8 cm ascending aorta aneurysm

Posted by pconkin1 @pconkin1, Jan 26 11:10am

I just found this forum and I'm glad I can share with people who are experiencing the same thing. Any guidance on how to live a full life while dealing with the watch and wait approach?

Has anyone had depression with their descending aorta.
I have had 2 years of depression that comes and goes and I get really anxious at times. It started about the same time as my ascending aorta, but it is not big enough to have surgery on yet.

@cathy21959 I just found out about mine and I am severely anxious. It is horrible. So scared. I totally know how you feel. I found mine on my calcium score test. My doctor never told me about this. The test said it is a 4.8 and previously a 4.4 which was many years ago. I see him for my BAV. Had no idea about this. Now I am terrified.
