enlarged aorta, headaches,light headedness, chronic right leg pain.

by rparent312, Apr 01, 2008 08:44AM
I know I have an enlarged aorta, just found out last week and the week prior to that I was put on Alvalide 150/12.5 (x2) for HBP. Prior to finding this out I have been suffering w/chronic right leg pain for years. no tests have been done, I was told to go to physical therapy and given Ultracet, well neither is helping and the pain can be horrible at times. Also I started with bad headaches approx, the end of jan "08" and I have been taking Fiorecet for the headaches along w/heating pad and or ice packs. I also have been having dizzy spells almost as though my equallibrium is off. I am concerned because I don't know if the headaches and chronic right leg pain are associated w/enlarged aorta. All the things I have been going through lately make me feel as though I am a hypocondriac. ( I am not) I just want to get to the bottm of this. I have been missing alot of work due to the headaches and my employer has been great about it, but I feel awful. not sure what I should do anymore.
