Experiences with

Aneurysm

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 ?

Just been diagnosed with an 16mm aneurysm of the left ventricular outflow tract indenting the right atrium. Have to wait till 2 Sept clinic to find out what happens next. I am 75. This is obviously rather worrying! Has anyone else had this problem.

After recent cardiac MRI diagnosed with aneurysm of left ventricular outflow tract. Waiting to hear what happens next! Don't know if I've always had it or recent appearance. Treated for ovarian ca 3 years ago, so lots of stress, maybe that caused it? I'm 75yrs old. Has anyone else had this?

recently been told i have Splenic Artery Aneurysm (SAA), (16mm) looking for any information/advice which could be helpful, thanks in advance

My question for her was how is that going to effect his decision on surgery or monitoring my aneurysm. She of course couldn’t answer. I am at my wits end here. At my appointment, I did ask the doctor what his thoughts were if it was his decision , and he said surgery.

Is this the norm no check ups for CAC or Aneurysm not making sense to me hopefully someone can advise

Hi all, your stories are an inspiration and I feel weak posting this but just want my mind put at rest. It was a shock to be told I have a TAA and have worried myself silly for 3 months. Have my first cardiology appointment next week. What can I expect?? Thanks for your replies, ps, I'm 74 and thought

I was diagnosed with a thoracic aortic aneurysm ( acending and dissected desce ding) 2 years ago. I have since declined surgery and am now finding it impossible to access any sort of advice about managing my condition as well as what to expect in the future.

Any test results that have the word aneurysm should at least get a phone call from the doctor right? I did do some research and found out that GCA and aneurysms go together, plus any hereditary traits can increase the risk of bursting. My sister died of an aneurysm when she was 44.

Has anyone had treatment for a 3mm unruptured aneurysm

I have AF but have been in sinus for 18 months and also have an aneurysm that has been stable for 10 years. The echo has been requested as I occasionally get out of breath walking. Would like to hear of any experiences good or bad! Thank you so much

Well the doctor finally called me. Yes, I talked to the actual man himself! We discussed my options and came up with monitoring it every three months, which puts me in October. It has taken my doctors since early July to figure this out! While I’m not happy about that, I love this option. If it

hello, I’m on clopidogrel and aspirin third week post my op (I have aneurysm secured by stent)and as I was warned I’m bruising a lot but also have severe pain inside my arms ,at times. It might sound a bit weird, but it’s like my bones rotted inside. Is anyone heard something similar?

Hi all, I had a SAH/bleed on the brain/ruptured Aneurysm on my birthday in April during Covid. I know, what are the odds! Anyway, they found another Aneurysm but smaller than the one that ruptured.

I am going for a second scan to check aortic aneurysm. This is a recall as the first scan a year ago showed an enlarged area. Not sure what expect any advise would be grateful. I don’t feel unwell or anything else.

Hi all Try to make sence of what consultant is telling me went to see him with supected angina and was told I had enlarged aorta 4.2cm nothing to worry about doesn’t need to see me, I was stunned and didn’t know what questions to ask googled and everywhere said aneurysm and that some consultants use

I have a aneurysm on my fistula, my vascular doctor just watches and sees, What should we do about it?

It's driving me crazy and causing severe anxiety as I keep thinking I'm heading for a stroke, or a brain Aneurysm. Had an MRI and CT scan and all clear. Now waiting for a spinal tap via my Neurologist. Any advice or feed back greatly appreciated. Thank you and take care.🍁🍁

In 2018, I was told my cerebral aneurysm was only 6mm in size, so I was discharged; no further action. I hear what sounds like blood flow in my ears. I have very loud Tinnitus and Menieres disease. I am 62 years old .
