During my annual physical, my doc placed the stethoscope on each side of my neck. She could hear a "swooshing" noise. She sent me to a vascular surgeon who ordered a doppler than a CT scan. I have 90% blockage on the right side & 85% blockage on the left side. I am currently seeing a cardiologist to obtain cardiac clearance for surgery. The vascular surgeon is going to remove the plaque in both arteries. I smoked for 45 years. I quit.smoking, cold turkey, two years ago due to having dizzy spells. My vascular surgeon said that was the BEST thing I could have done. If you smoke, please stop. I am now taking 20 mg of a statin/day & a blood thinner prior to surgery. I am 67 years old, I'm.5'7" & weight 150 pounds. Yes, I am.quite active. I was told I am asymptomatic which is very dangerous. My surgery should be scheduled soon. 🙏

I hope you are ok! I am 41 and just found out I probably have this; I am waiting for CT to confirm. I failed the first test. I had symptoms for almost a year and not 1 doctor out of 7 that I have saw ever connected the dots or even put a stethoscope to my neck. Even after I told them I could hear my heartbeat in my right ear, right neck discomfort, trouble swallowing at times, fatigue, puffy eyes and face on right side, hoarseness, swollen hand, and more. I had to research myself and tell them I was worried about a blood clot before I could even get the scan to prove them wrong. They dismissed me for a whole year. I hope you can come back and let us know how you are doing. I am an ex smoker as well smoked for my entire 20s up until 35. I quit 6 years ago. I am not sure if this did it or the jab. I didn't have any symptoms until a few months after my second shot.

I’m 81 and had a TIA 6 weeks ago, a scan with injected dye showed I had a tear in my external right carotid artery, it was confirmed with an MRI. What can cause a tear? I’m on all the medications now, statins, BP tabs, blood thinners.

@MedicalCentric 9 ай бұрын

A tear in the carotid artery can be caused by various factors, including atherosclerosis, high blood pressure, trauma, or even spontaneous dissection. It's important to follow your prescribed medications and treatments as advised by your healthcare provider to manage the risk factors and promote healing. Regular follow-up appointments and lifestyle adjustments can also contribute to a healthier recovery. Please consult with your medical professional for specific guidance tailored to your condition.

No stay away from statins. They cause other issues with Kidney's Liver and causes diabetes. One problem for another which Dr's like. More money they get. Try and eat healthier by eating whole foods limit your unhealthy carbs and exercise

Yes, at least 20 mg.

I went from trace atherosclerosis two years ago to 50% and 70% occlusion in just two years. Doctors are unable to explain how this could have happened. I didn't have any risk factors either. I never smoked drank or did drugs. Low BMI of 19, low cholesterol 127, normal blood sugar, normal blood pressure. They can't operate on it because they are intracranial occlusions. The extra cranial part is clear. All they could do is prescribe anti-platelet medication. They said it could delay but not prevent further strokes. I think I am screwed.

Diet maybe? Seed oils, artificial additives etc will cause systemic inflammation. Butter sugar fat replacements stuff like that.
