Hi @redhound and welcome to Mayo Clinic Connect. I am sorry to hear that you have anxiety surrounding this diagnosis. You will see that I added your post to a discussion talking about aortic dissection. I did this so you can connect with the different members who have actually had an aortic dissection like @realitytest, @rickh2, @lorettat, and @cobweb

Can you share what started this intense fear of aortic dissection?

Hi redhound I’m a73 year old guy who who fell down at work in April my leg went numb I was ambulanced to the local hospital given a cat scan and told that my aorta had dissected top and bottom but they could not do the surgery there Back in the ambulance and taken 30 miles away where surgical team was waiting Taken immediately to surgery wher a fantastic surgeon 6 hours later had repaired my aorta amd saved my life
