Had angiogram which revealed 1.2mm right internal carotid artery aneurysm - not sure what to do next given lifestyle.
Hello,
I recently had an angiogram done, which revealed a 1.2mm aneurysm. I know this to be small, but the doctor still gave me the option of preventative surgery or wait 6 months and get an mra.
The reason he thinks the surgery may be a good idea is given my lifestyle as a competitive level lifter. I'm training about 3 hours 6 days a week. I eat very clean, blood pressure sits at 115 over 60 about. So I'm pretty healthy in general. But the lifting can be risky with the aneurysm
I'm sure most of you have heard that it's hard to know what to do since they don't know if the aneurysm always been there or not.
What does reddit think? I know it's my call, but it would be nice to hear thoughts from people who've been through the similar process.
