My AA was discovered at age 67 yo. Female. Accident on vacation in September 2025.

Fell down outside steps to rental condo. Had to have ambulance & went to emergency room at Ocean City Maryland. Follow up with Kaiser in Gaithersburg Maryland.
Now don't really have a petsono L Doctor or network.... But was told to take 1 81 mg baby aspirin daily & " Watch it".
No history of high blot pressure, take no medication except eye drops ( prescription).
Not overweight. Walk daily, eat mostly homemade food.
However; Family history of Cancer ( not me) also obesity ( not me) Alcohol abuse ( not me ... Not much ). Very young at death....4 of my 7 siblings passed away before age of 61. Father died at 64 -- lung cancer ( smoker); mother 76 stomach cancer. 2 surviving siblings have had major cancer.
Also, most of us have had major back operations.
I had L4 disc surgery at age 30.
Very successful.

Last doctor told me that the blood flow from my heart to my brain via main artery is " pulsating" as opposed to an even flow in NORMAL humans. And when she put the steptoscope to my neck We could hear the disruption !!

@rosemarycrochford Are you seeing a cardiologist or any other doctor who specializes in aneurysms? I am so sorry for your loss of family members. Hope you find a good doctor who can help you
