Detailed Answer:
HelloXXXXXX
Thanks for writing to HCM

I have thoroughly gone through your findings in detail.

Aneurysm in large vessels are generally due to atherosclerotic changes.Atherosclerosis causes weakening of blood vessels and it lead to aneurysm.

Generally aneurysm are stable in nature but they are more prone to rupture caused by trauma etc.

There is no problem in flight journey as these are jerk less journey.But,you should take precautions like avoid excessive straining and hard work.

You should take your medicines regularly.

Get well soon.
Hope I have answered your question.

Take Care
