Hello @dglstaf , I'd like to invite @robinwe239, @glendamn and @23997929 who have all recently discussed an aortic aneurysm of 4.2cm. How are you currently feeling with your diagnosis and have you been put on any restrictions? What things concern you the most?

Started Rosuvastatin and will start metoprolol soon. Feeling a bit overwhelmed!

I haven’t meet with with vascular surgeon yet? And I’m still waiting for a chest ultrasound and echocardiogram. My nerves have settled somewhat and I’m back to working out, although I wonder in the back of my mind if I’m lifting too much??? I have dove into my nutrition on the advise of my family dr. And I’m going to try my best to reduce or cut out meat . That’s where things are for me right now . One day at a time 🙂

Hi dglstaf... my dr wanted to put me on
Metoprolo...I don't have high blood pressure or cholesterol. We are waiting though for the 6 month check up. I get a cardiac mri in April. If it has grown I will be encouraged to take the drug to slow the heart. I already have low blood pressure and am apprehensive in going on it. So we shall see. It seems to be what the dr prescribes. Hmmm.

Dr said it was genetics but never had a genetic test done. Read about this on another feed.
