SOB aneurysm: Please go to ER now. Though 4.2 is not a critical diameter( usually > 5), you do have an aneurysm and are 57 years old , hTn so a cardiac etiology is a concern. f/u/ w/ ER now. http://ac.els-cdn.com/S235290671500010X/1-s2.0-S235290671500010X-main.pdf?_tid=8799e99e-36dd-11e6-aedd-00000aacb35d&acdnat=1466423757_385f3a4af8c762e4ebdee9e42e7f57ea
