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

Hi again. Anytime you want to talk or converse you can contact me. I used to teach high school Spanish that’s why I have Señora as my email. Just to give you some info about myself I am 67 my first name is Denise. Rory is my grandson and that’s why I use that for my name on this link. Email me anytime with any of your concerns. I try to keep busy babysitting I have four grandchildren. I think keeping active helps us forget and not to worry too much. But feel free to email me anytime. Would love to keep in touch with you

Hi Rory thank u for yr reply. I’m not sure how to use these boards quite yet. I feel like mayo just dx and sent me away. My local providers are good so I will follow up. Maybe sooner . If I could get sleep I would feel better. I’m taking an antidepressant now (couple weeks) that worked in the past for anxiety and postpartum depression. I posted other info on a mental health board today as well -the reason I went to mayo in first place was a study for Nash nonalcoholic fatty liver disease where I got a Mre and a biopsy which answered some questions but left more if u want to read that. I just try to keep as busy as my fatigue allows. Thank you for your kindness. I see there’s a messages section maybe u could pm me and we can converse more. ❤️
