I was just in the hospital for an acute aortic dissection with an intramoral hematoma. I still don't understand what has happened and the treatment. I am afraid all of the time! I am being treated with beta blockers and will see the Dr. In 4 weeks. I am trying to understand that surgery could be more dangerous early on. Though in a non medical mind, it would feel safer to have it fixed! This happened 14 days ago. The pain for the first 6-7 day's required 2mm of dilaudid every 2 hours. The pain was excruciating! I am now on week 2 and the pain is nothing compared to week 1 and controlled by oxycodone and oxycontin. When will the pain be gone? When will I feel safe again? I don't think that there are answers to my questions. It's one of those things where only time will tell! I feel like a statistic and I haven't been added to the chart yet, if that makes sense. I am a 63 year old housewife and I have no idea why this has happened to me! I am trying my best to put this in the Hands of God and trusting Him with everything! Please pray for me! 🙏
Good explanation. Congratulations. I wish I could have an appointment with him. I did an aneurysm of ascending aorta repair with aortic valve replacement in January,2016 and with much thoracic pain I came to my surgeon and he found out in a new RM of aorta that I have IMH in the whole ascending aorta (a).... January, 2019. Since that and with pain episodes growing I fell myself impotent at the age of 40, because the doctors say that there is nothing to be done. No hypertension and only in use of pain killers... Please could you, Sir, suggest me something for bringing back my hope and life? I would be very thankful if someone from the participants of this seminar could answer me. I am afraid of new dissection , more than in afraid I am in total panic.
