Is this a warning to do surgery?

I am 61yr. old female with heart disease and altheriosclerosis all over my major arteries, I have had one heart stent in 09' never any problem there. I had my femoral (r) artery cleaned out on my left leg, again success. The doctor also had my cartiod arteries tested in 09' one is 100% blocked, the other was 80% at that time. The only symptom from this that I have experienced is when I bend over I feel a kind of rush to my head, it feels like when you have water in your ears, but gos away when I straighten up. Lately though I get a feeling like real lightheadedness and that clogged feeling in my neck/ears. Like I'm going to faint. I ride it out and it goes away. Is this an emergency or a warning or is it just because of the blockage? I will be seeing a doctor soon, I hope. Thank you in advance.

Can you please supply an example of a large study which shows that chelation actually removes calcium and fat from arteries? I eagerly await your information because my Cardiologist doesn't believe in it, neither does my Doctor.

PS: Oral Chelation is an option, before things get too bad. Once you have a heart attack, your window  of opportunity narrows. Be pro-active, and take responsibility for your own well-being, do not defer it to others! God Bless!

Certainly you have cause for alarm. You might consider oral chelation. Chelation is a derivative of the the Greek word Chel, meaning, "to claw". Oral Chelation works by slowly getting rid of the hardened plaque that is causing you arteries to "harden", meaning to calcify. You might also consider a liver cleanse, because your liver is probably producing too much cholestrerol. maintaining a healthy diet,especially low in triglycerides may also help. My 85 yr old mother did an extensive program of oral chelation, and she is the sole sibling (of nine) in her family, that has not had to have bypass surgery.

Hello Ed, and thank you for answering, I hope you are well. My blood pressure is always good because I take Lysinoprol everyday. I also take a whole aspirin & one Plavix (per doc orders) to prevent clotting. I am also taking a statin at night (Pravastatin) to keep things flowing & plauge down.
My doctor (one) said it was too risky a surgery to do because it is right by the optic nerve, I could come out blind or paralized. No thanks. I will try to get into a specialist asap, the meds should cover me until then. Thanks again Ed.

It could certainly be a sign that your carotid artery (the one with blood flow) is becoming more blocked. It could be many other things also and so I think it's a matter of seeing what expert advice your Doctor comes up with. He may want to run some tests. Any idea how your blood pressure is doing?
