D-dimmer test

I couldn’t have blood thinners because I have an ascending aortic aneurysm. The negative result suggested it’s not a blood clot but GP did not give me an idea what might be the cause. My right knee has now become swollen as well and feels quite tight. Any idea? Cheers

My uncle

Wondered if anyone can help me my uncle has an aortic aneurysm, top of the heart which hasn’t grown for 5 years. Along with valve issues. He has recently gone on waiting list for surgery. He’s getting a lot of symptoms of bring up phlegm and heavy legs. Wondered if anyone else has had it.

Aortic Aneurysm

Just been told I’ve got aortic aneurysm and been referred to Liverpool Heart and Chest clinic. Can anyone simplify what that means?

Heart Rhythms

Strange one I had open heart surgery twice in 2019 for an Ascending Aortic Aneurysm. Though as far as I know my heart was in good condition. I then had bouts of Afib following surgery. More recently I've had bouts of Tachycardia.

Waiting for surgery

They have scanned me on an annual basis and the last 3 years they have been concerned about an aortic aneurysm developing. It started at 46mm 3 years ago last February it had grown to 51mm. I was told I will need an aortic root replacement surgery.

TAA and exercise

Diagnosed 4 months ago with aortic aneurysm in the ascending aorta of 4.9cm and dilated aortic root of I think 4.4 but I bit less sure of that last diameter. Presumed caused by BAV that currently exhibits 20 per cent regurgitation. Anyway the question is….

Tapering, back-update etc.

Thankfully, he was being monitored for a lung infection when they found an ascending aortic aneurysm that doubled in size in six months. His most recent scan a week ago revealed this. They'll be replacing the valve to the heart as well.

Disability Benefits

Hi, this is my first post on here I am a 73-year old male, I have an Abdominal Aortic Aneurysm and unfortunately, it is too dangerous to have an operation, the last check it was 6cm so basically once it ruptures I will die.

Right sided pain.

A strange one I had OHS 2 years ago for a Thoracic Ascending Aortic Aneurysm at the root. Had AFIB and Tachycardia in the following months. But no real issues since on the heart side. Have spent the last 2 weekend in hospital after a Cranial CSF Leak repair.

Fluid on left lung

Aortic stenosis & regurgitation (mild/moderate). Thoracic Aortic Aneurysm 4.5 (last year). Bicuspid aortic valve. Ectopic beats. All for which I am medicated. Over the last year I've had fluid on my left lung, which has shown up on a chest X-ray.

IBS general: my experience

Dear all, it's been a while since I posted this, so here it is: This is my general approach to help people understand and repair their gastro-intestinal (GI) performance after being diagnosed with IBS. Firstly, IBS must be diagnosed by your doctor or consultant, after checks and treatment for gastro-intestinal
