had an MRI, at my urging, as I felt my migraines were getting worse, and I had never had an MRI or CT scan.
they found an aneurysm, then had a CT scan.
they found a 7mm aneurysm,
saw a surgeon yesterday. he said the location is good (in the front), the shape is good.
He wants to do a angiogram as the next step, to have a base line reading, and also, so if it does measure smaller, and we decide to watch it, we would know a more exact size.
I am going for a 2nd. opinion to the Cleveland Clinic.
I have had no symptoms.
My Dr. told me about this web site.
I have some basic questions.
he said I could exercise, but no really strenous exertation.
basically, he said, to live, my life as normal.
but to schedule the angiogram.
he also, said my risk with the size and location, was very low, about the same as the risk with the procedure. so this puzzled.
thanks for the help
Sandy
My questions are at this point
