Suggest Remedy For Blockage In Carotid Artery

I have been treated for vascultis of the left carotid artery over 2 months now with steroids and I have a 60-80% blockage in the same artery as I had the vasculitis. I am employed as an RN at a local hospital which is very stressful. I am not able to take care of myself at work like I do at home. I have alot of mental stress at work and I am just curious if it would be in my best interest not to go back to work becuase I know stress causes constriction of the vessel.

Hi and welcome to Healthcaremagic. Thank you for your query. I am Dr. Rommstein, I understand your concerns and I will try to help you as much as I can.

Well if there is a blockage more than 75% then the only succesful treatment is surgery and you should consult vascular surgeon about this so I suggest this as soon as possible. Since carotid atherosclerosis may have serious consequances for your health and life.

I hope I have answered you query. If you have any further questions you can contact us in every time.
