I Am 53 , 5.10 And 215 Lbs. Quit Smoking

I am 53 , 5.10 and 215 lbs. Quit smoking 4 months ago and have been running daily to try and lose weight.

4 days ago, I had lost vision in one eye and had tingling in my fingers. the next day I told my doctor and he immediately sent me to the emergency room. Well I will gloss over the rest. CT scans, MRI and carotid angiogram later. I was diagnosed with a 100% blockage in the right carotid artery. surgery was not recommended and after reading online about the problem, I agree

My question is simple. Is there anything I can do to fix the damage artery. do you believe is is possible to reverse the damage and get this working again. Have you ever seen improvement in a 100% blockage of the carotid artery.
I just need a real answer from someone not trying to make money off my situation.

Thank you very much Doctor
