I am a 48m, had a full body mri done which determined I had a dilated upper aorta at 4.2 cm.
Have since seen a cardiologist who did further testing, increasing my blood pressure meds.

He mentioned no more weight lifting, running is basically gotta be limited as he said if you can’t hold a normal conversation while doing it, then don’t do it. And no exercises which can cause you to hold your breath etc

Going from exercising almost daily to just about nothing is mentally destroying me. Anyone else exercise at all and find anything that seems to keep you fit yet not strain the aneurysm?
