5.7 cm aneurysm, also dilated at the root

Recently diagnosed, looking at open heart surgery. 43m, no other heart issues. Have young children at home, just scared. I’m not scheduled to see the surgeon for three weeks for a consult and was told he might want to do further testing, should I be pushing for an earlier appointment? Not sure it would do anything.

Currently use cannabis to sleep and maybe 3 alcoholic drinks a week. BP used to be in the pre- hypertension range, but now stays below 110/75 resting. Cannabis and/ or alcohol does not seem to raise my blood pressure at all, maybe alcohol in a negligible way. Have insomnia and narcolepsy (sucks to have both, when I do sleep it’s crappy sleep). Cannabis is the double whammy to those so I’m having a hard time justifying quitting when it’s not raising my BP and helps me sleep so well and I only take my one or two puffs at night.
