Hi @ssams, welcome to Connect.
I moved your message to this discussion thread to help you connect with other members talking about abdominal aortic aneurysms. I'm also tagging @mimieleven @jessicalatessa @themadyank @lynnkay1956 and @HeartPatches.

According to this article http://www.mayoclinic.org/diseases-conditions/abdominal-aortic-aneurysm/basics/lifestyle-home-remedies/con-20023784 the best ways to prevent a rupture is
- Quit smoking or chewing tobacco.
- Keep your blood pressure under control.
- Get regular exercise.
- Reduce cholesterol and fat in your diet.

Is there anything in this list that you can do?
