4. How urgently do I need to begin treatment for this condition?
   
   
5. Are there any tests I can take to give you a better idea of my condition?
   
   
6. Are there any underlying conditions causing the aneurysm?
   
   
7. What type of treatment do you recommend for my condition?
   
   
8. Will my condition require any type of surgery?
   
   
9. Are there any lifestyle changes I can make to improve my condition?
   
   
10. Can an aneurysm affect my pregnancy in any way?
    
    
11. How often should I have the growth of the aneurysm monitored?
