    Don't wait 3 weeks to see another doctor. Go see a cardiologist. Your age shouldn't matter.

    Is it an ascending aortic dilation? Your symptoms are concerning. Do you have a stressful job? Are you in good general health?

    We're all here to support you. Keep us posted.

    Hi, Darlene. I hope you can get an appointment with a doctor soon. Keep good track of all your medical records and do research.

    🙏🏻 Praying all goes well.
