Autonomic nervous system disorder: No diagnosis or help yet

nothing really to date, how do I monitor my outpouching size on a regular basis? My united healthcare community plan basically rejects most requests let alone MRA's on a regular basis for monitoring purposes. I'm the last of my biological family, both parents and two brothers died from heart/stroke issues which has me on alert.

Such a good question, Glenn. Aneurysms are followed with brain imaging studies (CT, MRI) over several years to ensure they are not growing.
