Inner Carotid Stenosis

Inner Carotid Stenosis

Diagnosed with  R Inner carotid Stenosis 50-69%, although other tests suggest less stenosis. EEG shows evidence of TIA. Will have MRA soon to try to conferm amount of stenosis.  

Question:   When I turn head to look to right almost any length of time, lose some sight, get a little dizzy, (sometimes faint). Are these tests with these clinical symptoms enough for me to consider the recommended carotid endarcarectomy?
