I'm curious about the normal size of the abdominal aorta since my recent echocardiography showed my aorta measures 3 cm. The abdominal ultrasound indicated it was normal. Should I be concerned about this size?
Answered by 1 Apollo Doctors
The normal size of the abdominal aorta is typically less than 3 cm in diameter. Since your aorta size is 3cm, it is at the upper limit of normal. It is important to monitor this closely to ensure it does not increase in size. Regular follow-up with your healthcare provider is recommended to monitor any changes.

View allWhat is a heart cough?
Heavy breathing accompanied by spells of wet cough with frothy sputum that may be tinged with blood is called as "Cardiac cough or Heart cough". It is a sign of congestive heart failure. Additional symptoms such as shortness of breath on exertion or rest, leg swelling, waking up from sleep in the middle of night gasping and coughing differentiate heart cough from cough due to lung conditions.

Hey, I've been feeling really worried lately. So, I'm a 29-year-old guy and back in December, I had this scary episode where my heart was racing like crazy and I had chest pain. I rushed to the hospital, they did an ECG, and said everything looked fine. I even saw another senior cardiologist who also checked me out and didn't find anything alarming. They gave me some meds like clonozopam and betacap tr 40, and things were okay for a while. But the past few weeks, I've been getting this weird fluttering or vibrating feeling in my heart, especially in the evenings. I don't have any chest pain or other symptoms now, but I'm really stressed about it. With the lockdown, I'm having trouble seeing a doctor again. Do you think this could just be anxiety, or is there something else going on? What should I do? I've attached the ECG from that time, if that helps.
That could be due to anxiety,if your previos medicines are avaialable with you you can take those medicines and visit psychiatrist for appropriate management

My mom has severe aortic stenosis and the doctor suggested valve replacement surgery. We're unsure whether to go for open heart surgery or TAVR. Since we lost my dad to COVID and she's a homemaker, cost is a big concern. What would be the best option for her?
