Make changes to lower your risk for AAA.
Talk with your doctor about your risk for AAA.
Here are some questions you might want to ask your doctor:
- What are my blood pressure numbers and cholesterol levels? What should they be? If they are too high, what can I do to get them lower?
- Do I need to lose weight to reduce my risk for AAA?
- How can I find help to quit smoking?
If your doctor recommends screening for AAA, the cost may be covered by Medicare.
