Thanks for your question on Healthcare Magic.
I can understand your concern.
Yes, you should definitely consult cardiologist for your co morbidities (hypertension, high cholesterol, diabetes) and tortuous aorta.
Your tortuous aorta is mostly due to high cholesterol, obesity and hypertension.
Once you control all these, your aorta problem might resolve also.
You should start antihypertensive, antidiabetic and lipid lowering drugs to control all these.
Even after control of all these, you have tortuous aorta then you may need surgical correction (Stent placement) of aorta.
So consult cardiologist and discuss all these.
Hope I have solved your query. I will be happy to help you further. Wish you good health. Thanks.
