A member asked:
Someone with a aorta aneurysm and a hernia what limitations should they have as far as the amount of weight they can lift?
3 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
Aneurysm: You want to prevent the blood pressure rise that comes with straining against weight. Probably ten pounds would be ok.

None for hernia : The presence of a hernia should only limit activity if it is causing problems such as pain or discomfort. Use that as a guide to activity. Good luck!
