I had an aortic dissection last year. I don't recommend them. I was told that I couldn't lift weight anything over 40 lbs.

The polls on socials gave a lot of buy in, with my wife and I both arguing the case of two different diagnosis

I'm one of the many people who came into the urgent care with similar (but much lesser) symptoms a few weeks after I dragged some 450 lb windows up a steep gravel pathway. They wanted to test me for this same injury to be safe and it ended up costing several thousand bucks at the time. Nothing showed up so I probably just had lots of inflammation of the ribcage cartilledge (caustochondritis ? ). It's really interesting to hear about the real deal injury to understand what that doctor was freaked out about.

I was told I have an ascending aortic aneurysm. It was found during an echocardiogram. Apparently, the only thing to do is watch it over time. I’m still lifting. Hoping nothing bad happens.
