Stroke risk from carotid artery blockage
by jmbatgirl, Jul 31, 2008 06:33AM
Hello -
I apologize if I'm not asking this in the correct forum. I had a carotid doppler due to blurred vision. I was given the results, over the phone, that I have a 49% blockage on both sides, but it is not enough to do anything about. I was given no advice. Is this an acceptable amount of blockage for a 49 year old woman? My cholesteral has always been great until recently, when it went up slightly over normal. There is a strong history of strokes in the females on my mother's side.
Thank you.
