Hip Replacement with a 4.7 aneurysm

Not yet. I don't know if the orthopedic would even do my surgery unless I broke the hip and it was an emergency and they had to try to save my life one way or another. My fear is a complications whether those are from hip infection that puts too much stress on the aorta and it bursts or my own anxiety and high blood pressure that I already have busting the aneurysm anyway. I am medicated for high blood pressure but sometimes even with the medications, my blood pressure is still higher than it should be and it seems that no amount of meds control it. Dr. says that anxiety itself causes my blood pressure to spike. So, it's hard to live life anxiety free.....

Sure. High anxiety often causes high blood pressure. It can cause a cyclic pattern.
