So yesterday got home to a letter from Neurovascular who had seen my scans for GCA and apparently now I have a small aneurysm in one of the arteries in my head but they are leaving it alone since the risk of intervention is higher than the risk of a bleed - anyone else have one ?
I have a chest X-ray next week for the breathlessness and further blood test for heart failure
Feel a bit like a ticking time bomb … !
Sorry to hear that - I assume they will keep an eye on you?
Not a nice scenario but I guess many of us and in general people are living with conditions that they are unaware of. Our bodies are amazing in so many different ways. Our condition makes all of us far more aware of what is happening, not in a narcissistic way but out of necessity. I'm sure that many people have conditions that they are unaware of and their bodies self correct without them realising. We unfortunately have a condition where this nice balance has been turned on its head and what used to defend us attacks us. That's why we are so attuned to thinking everything through. Try not to worry. As PMRpro says they will keep a close eye on you. Good luck.
Preeclampsia heart disease and stroke
It's all my fault
Methotrexate and CoVid risk
How many steps should you take every day?
