Brief Answer:

Keep blood pressure and heart rate under control

Detailed Answer:

Hi,

Well, in that case, you are right that monitoring is preferable and unless it worsens aggressively or causes significant pain or blood pressure issues or shortness of breath it can be left without surgery.

However, to avoid it to aggravate, blood pressure readings should be kept under control with blood pressure medications and heart rate should also be kept in check medically.

Avoiding straining or heavy exertion is mandatory. A regular cardiologist or vascular surgeon review will also be needed every three months at least.

Hope I have answered your query.

Take care

Dr Saddiq Ulabidin, General & Family Physician
