Hello @redskin39,

I apologize for not responding earlier, but somehow I missed getting a notification about your post! I'm quite sure it's a tech glitch because I see that Connect Mentors, whose fluency in responding to new members is beyond helpful, probably did not get notified either.
Thanks for the followup, @colleenyoung.

You may also notice that I moved your discussion and combined it with this existing discussion on thoracic aortic aneurysm, because I thought it might be beneficial for you to be introduced to the many members who have discussed the same.
If you are replying by email, you could click on VIEW & REPLY so that you can read through some of the earlier messages and meet some of our other members talking about their or their or their loved ones' experiences.

Here’s a great article from Mayo Clinic that might help your search for answers:
– What are the heart risks associated with testosterone therapy? https://www.mayoclinic.org/healthy-lifestyle/mens-health/expert-answers/testosterone-therapy-side-effects/faq-20090015

I also encourage you to view these discussions on Connect:
– https://connect.mayoclinic.org/webinar/facebook-live-the-truth-about-testosterone-and-mens-health-with-dr/
– https://connect.mayoclinic.org/discussion/low-testosterone/ (although this is an older discussion, @roush writes about Androgen and heart issues, and I'm hoping he will return with more insight).

While we wait for others to join in, I'd like to invite Mentors @predictable and @hopeful33250 to see if they have any thoughts or suggestions as well.

@redskin39, we look forward to getting to know you; may I ask if you could share a few more details? When were you diagnosed with thoracic aortic aneurysm? Have you asked your doctor about taking testosterone supplements?
