Worried so much about an aaa
She said I have a very prominent heartbeat around my belly button, and said don’t worry but you may have an abdominal
aortic
aneurysm
, so is going to send me for an urgent ultrasound which will check the aorta and the lump.

Parasympathetic Nervous System - Vagus Nerve
As many of you know along with AF I suffer from a relatively rare (we think?) condition called Myasthenia gravis which is a neuro muscular condition which most people haven’t heard of but has a similar affect to MS but through a different mechanism. For over 7 years I have been chasing missing bits

Death of a family member
My paternal uncle died at age 41 of a ruptured
aortic
aneurysm
. No one knows what caused the aneurysm. I have my theories. My paternal grandmother died of a massive PE and cardiac arrest after being taken off of her Coumadin. She also had lupus and aPL.

Foamy urine and waiting in the wings for open heart surgery
I have an
aortic
aneurysm
due to be repaired this year or next, and kidney problems right now would be an amazingly unfortunate complication.

Covid vaccine.
I recently had a thoracic
aortic
aneurysm
repaired and, while they were operating, they also replaced an apparently fully functioning bicuspid valve. Does that count as heart disease?

Are there any connections?

aortic
aneurysm
so my question is, could there be a connection

Diclofenac
I had open heart surgery last year twice to repair a Ascending Thoracic
Aortic
Aneurysm
. I'm on Dispersible Aspirin, Bisoprolol, Artovastatin, Losartan and Omneprazole. Now I've had lower back problems on and off for years and Diclofenac always solved it in a couple of days.

Hi all, I was told around a year ago that I had a thoracic
aortic
aneurysm
that needed surgery as it was in danger of rupturing.

Alternatives to Warfarin?
I've been told that, along with a repair for a thoracic
aortic
aneurysm
, that my
aortic
valve needs replacing and the surgeon has strongly recommended that I go mechanical. Obviously this means a lifetime on blood thinners.

Aortic
aneurysm
with a distended root and until the tail-end of last year I'd have described myself as asymptomatic.

Excited to move on!
It will be open heart to repair my
aortic
aneurysm
and valve sparing. If valve needs replacing then will have a mechanical valve. ... then my life begins again without fear of dissection. Happy Jo!

A new path - 6 weeks after Aortic Valve and Root Op
All the best to you all Steve PS During the last year or so when researching my condition I got the impression that those OHS candidates of us with just defective
Aortic
Valve disease (with or without
aneurysm
) are far fewer in number that those needing CABG - this document (https://www.hqip.org.uk

Waiting room door well & truly open: Aortic Valve and Aneurysm surgery in 1.5 days!
Thank you all for the replies and PM's Wise words and sound advice in them all - and I concluded that 'Swingyourpants' was correct in pointing out that there is a strong temptation to over-analyse this stuff. So I decided that I'm 'good to go' and immersed myself in work until 5:30 today. Yesterday

Waiting room door well & truly open: Aortic Valve and Aneurysm surgery in 9 days!
So 3 days passes very quickly when working long 'zoomy' hours and trying to find the light switch in the corridor between the waiting room and the operating theatre. Thank you to those who replied/IM'd my previous post - there does seem to be wide range of policy interpretation across different hospitals
