Hi!
I do appreciate your worries. It means that there is a small patch of clot/thrombosis or plaque—whatever you may call it, in the carotid artery which is not yet compromising the blood flow. This is usually managed by medications and a wait and watch policy is usually adopted it does not cause any harm. However, medications are given to halt the progress.
Please consult your doctor regarding this. Take care!
