I'm calling my cardio about the same thing on Monday. For the last few months, I've been hearing what sounds like blood rushing through my ears. Usually in the evening. I've read that it could be a sign of labile hypertension, so we'll see. I've also been getting my ocular migraine auras with...

Hi Jason, thanks for your input! It's good to know that AAAs can stabilize for so long. I'm starting to finally understand why cardios seem to want to hold off on fixing them for as long as they can.
