I am taking blood pressure and 1 mg aspirin per the ER I went to. Had my physical 2 weeks ago and my BP was normal, but was elevated at the ER. When they conferred with a VS contact the ER Doc had, they suggested it to keep the pressure low to control the size of the aneurism and the aspirin to I believe thin the blood through the dissection to prevent clot. the dissection is at the aneurism like bypassing through the wall.
Went to GP yesterday and he's keeping me on them. He did tell me not to work out until I meet with a VS to prevent any stress on it. I am still waiting for the VS to call as when I called them following the referral from my GP, they were discussing if they would be able to take my case. So needless to say, still up in the air.
