@joyebugg ....keep BP controlled to normal level, no heavy lifting, no breath-holding or straining when lifting. When exercising you should be able to carry on a normal conversation. You can engage in non-stressful activities. Discuss your concerns with your Cardiologist sooner than December. Many people on this site have experience in managing their condition...read their stories. Your situation isn't dire and can be managed with the right guidance and information. Knowledge is power and can help to keep perspective. Best wishes in your care journey!!

@ctflyr thank you . Just got my results back from ultrasound and nurse said no aneurysm. I told her I’m so confused, ct scan showed 3.6 . She said it was a dilation and it is honestly away . I don’t trust that answer . 2 different nurses one said one thing about the CT scan. The other said something about the ultrasound.. both contraindicated their selves . Do they just go away? I’m setting appt with np and let her explain to me .
