Hello. Here is my dx - a dr at mayo said watch and wait. So freaked out that depression, anxiety and insomnia has set in. Hopefully med will work soon as I cannot sleep or eat much and in a constant sweat. I’m on a cpap since2014and wondering if I have pulmonary hypertension as as I get breathless when I talk a lot and if interfering w sleep. Can’t walk far or fast.

Hi. I was diagnosed seven years ago with ascending aorta dilation. I started at 4.1 now I am up to 4.5 cm. Cardiologist says cannot do anything until it reaches 5.0 -5.5. I also have mild to moderate regurgitation. Every time I go to the doctor I continue to worry every day but there’s nothing we could do. I have a lot of anxiety and I get palpitations all the time and I try not to think about it. But I know what you’re going through. I go every six months for a chest scan and echo cardio gram. I am on medication for anxiety but sometimes it doesn’t help when you keep thinking about it and getting the palpitations. Don’t worry we’re all in the same boat. Love to hear back from you
