clogged artery

what are the symptoms? I have this pain that goes down the right side of my neck. This can be quite uncomfortable. Also everytime they take vials of blood the pain goes down my neck also. Does anyone know what this could be?

Probably the most definitive symptom would be death if you're talking about a coronary artery.  I would expect a stroke would tell the tale in the case of a clogged carotid artery.

thank you jim62.....  i was just wondering if the symptoms i was having... was a starting sign of it... i guess not...huh?

then can anyone tell me why the side of my neck has a stabbing, but also a burning pain on the right side, i don't have to be doing anything and all of sudden it hits, and why it also happens when blood is taken....10 minutes later there is a stabbing and burning pain going down the side of my neck???????

That may be some kind of a nerve issue.  I don't think you would have a symptom like that from a clogged artery.

But, I could be wrong.  I thought I was once before, but it turned out I was wrong...............
