    Hi denshep, hope you're well. Im 37 years old,I was diagnosed with thoracic aortic aneurysm last March 2015. Mine was 4.6cm. My doctor told me to refrain from strenous exercises ang heavy lifting. I'm not sure about flying.

    Hi denshep

    I am bit confused about Bedue to flying. Did you mean, normal flight journey also causes to grown anerysm. I also have thoracic anerysm and size 4.3 cm.

    I live in US and am from India. I am planning to fly India soon.After your post, I am a bit scaring. Can you please elaborate the Bedue to flying for me. Thanks for reading and clarifying in advace.
