Hello Teresa (Mentor). It has been one year since you provided me with very good direction regarding exercise, aneurysm, and other contributing health issues. Thank you! I am doing well. I have started swimming and gentle water aerobics, combined with hikes using trekking sticks. I always have a cell phone signal and medication list with me as back up. Events have happened, but I was prepared. My blood pressure has remained steady, and I pace my exertion to ensure this, to the best of my ability. My tortuous aortic arch has been measured again, and so far remains at 42 to 43. I use two forms of nitro. People should know about that option (nitro paste... consult with your Doc of course) if their blood pressure runs low already, and they deal with angina. The nitro paste allows me to exercise with minimal chest pain, and doesnt bottom out my blood pressure with its slower delivery. I hope these little pearls help in some small way for those individuals who struggle with unique combinations of health issues and are trying to stay active and truly live their lives. Thank you Teresa, for mentoring!
