I already have a high heart rate and an abdominal
aortic
aneurysm
and don't want to be pushing my luck. Any advice please? Have attached a photo of a few of the bruise type marks that are sore to the touch.

Aneurysm v Insurance
I have an
aortic
aneurysm
which gets bigger by the year - but only by a bit. Travel insurance increased by 100% to > £800 when I told the insurance company. Does anyone have experience of a) slowing the growth down, and/or b) finding a good (cheap) travel insurance for the US?

Significant bleed following elective surgery - any thoughts?
I received a metallic aortic valve in December 2016 as I had
aortic
regurgitation and an
aortic
aneurysm
. I was placed on warfarin but could never be stabilised on this, with my INR ranging from 1.1 to greater than 8 at any given time.

Hi my 7 year old was born with a co artation of the aorta this was repaired with open surgery at 4days old and then repaired with balloon procedure at 12 weeks old as it had narrowed back down.

Aortitis due to GCA
In some instances GCA descends to the heart causing aortitis and resulting in a thoracic
aortic
aneurysm
and
aortic
valve problems. Are there members of this group with this problem?

Any composers / musicians with Mechanical Heart Valves? Please help!
I have been strongly recommended to have a mechanical heart valve to replace my bicuspid aortic valve, and I also have to have a graft on my
aortic
root as I have an
aneurysm
. I may still get the choice to have the valve repaired or a tissue valve instead, but not sure.

Anyone else have microvascular heart disease and Inflamatory Arthritis?
I also have a thoracic ascending
aortic
aneurysm
. Anyone else on here have a form of Inflamatory Arthritis or any other auto immune disease and microvascular angina? If so do you think it’s responsible for your symptoms?

Hello from someone new to all this PMRGCA stuff
Nothing unusual (I was going to say 'nothing to see there, move along people' but that would clearly be inappropriate ) but I did also feel an unfamiliar discomfort behind my sternum and made the connection with my aorta sounding odd and references to the risk of
aortic
aneurysm
that I'd read and glossed

Pouch on Neck
It was discovered that I have an
Aortic
Aneurysm
by my cardiologist but said not to worry, it was small. My Rheumy saw that and thought maybe I have GCA. I have no other GCA symptoms, however she thinks my problem with tapering down is a sign that it's more than PMR.

Acetic Acid aka Spirit Vinegar
Been gluten free now for nearly a year and getting on great but still struggling to understand why. Acetic Acid, (and sodium acetate) aka Spirit Vinegar, mimics the gluten effect for me. I get the thing about undistllled vinegars, most particularly malt vinegar, and appreciate that the distillation

Hiya Happy New Year All Had a chemical Cardioversion mid December (week 5) as I was went into Atrial Fibrillation 2 week’s after my
Aortic
valve and ascending aorta
Aneurysm
replacement. Fortunately the chemical Cardioversion worked and I didn’t need to be shocked.
