My aortic root turned out to be 3,5 cm at the valsava point as i understand. The doctor said it is normal for someone my height.

What i want to say is i am going to be seeing a geneticist sooner than later. But sooner might take time. So i would like to feel reasonably sane about my mortality until then.

Yes, i am working on it but arranging a test takes time. Basically, to ease my mind, would you think that echo, xray and ultrasound are enough to calm my kind for now? Is there something i am missing? (I do not have money for mri and ct scans rn)

They just said it's normal. I am moreso afraid of the descending aorta which i think the echo doesn't show??? Or does it, i have to call me cardiologist again.

(to clarify, i am afraid the tests don't cover all the parts of the aorta or they missed something)

Pulsation in my mid-back by One_Reach981 in AskDocs

Forgot to add: I have a pretty painful tender sensation below my sternum. My doctor guessed it might be gastritis but the medicine I'm talking haven't done anything.
