    Diagnosed with a 4.0 cm aortic aneurysm June 2021. But, I am having symptoms of heart failure; chest pain when walking in grocery store only 10 minutes, chest pressure when standup at work and running around. Light chest pressure when I sleep.
    But, here is the thing...I fell in 2022 and I broke my ankle and damaged ligaments and tendons and I have to have scar tissue removed and or have my ligaments more stabilized after my employer's, insurance company and work comp' doctors minimized and falsified my records.
    I would have a blood clot and then a heart attack. But, what surgery is more important and can I have ankle surgery with a failing heart?

      Call your insurance and ask them for a list of neurologist that accepts your insurance. You might have to change doctor . Once you find a doctor that you trust and find helpful they should put in a referral to a neurologist. Your neurologist should be aware of all the symptoms you’re having. Make a list if you can and inform him /her how long it’s been happening and any other concerns you might have. The more they know about your symptoms the easier it should be for them to get you the proper testing and treatment. I wish you well and hope this information helps you navigate your concerns.
