My carotids were blocked really bad on both sides after it happened from the false lumen clotting off,


Did you have an injury? My GP said dissection would have been seen on CT scans.
Have been through all the labs for vasculitis. The markers are "un-impressive". Hopefully 2-6th opinions will be helpful.

Y'all are freaking me out. I'm almost 47 and per carotid u/s have the arteries of a 60yo. C reactive protein was >6. 5 months on aspirin, vitamin d (levels were low) and omega 3, and retested. Awaiting apt for results.

Good luck to the op. What Carsiologist did you see in Lafayette??

It just happened, they dont know why. My blood pressure was never that high and no injury. Im sure they would have caught a dissection if you had one, Just saying that a second opinion saved my life with something similar.
