Exercising with an aortic aneurism

[Jimmyk]

I currently walk for excercise.
My ascending thoracic aortic aneurism has not grown from the last time they checked. It’s 4.7 cm. Same as it was 6 months ago.
Question, is it safe for me to lift weights? I used to bench press about 100 lbs or so.
Walking alone doesn’t feel like I’m getting a full workout.

Go light. I'd avoid bench pressing.
