Glad it wasn’t something seriously. At least you had the MRI.

WOW! I remember that thread - glad you found an open-air one to get it done. Although I have to laugh at the doc saying “Get to the emergency room!!!!”
And they tell you “Take some aspirin and come back in 6 weeks.” (I'm guessing with other precautions as well. “Oh - and don't cough!”) Good luck as you mend.

IIRC, coughing can cause it. And I think the aspirin is to prevent blood clots.

Wow! Never heard of that before. I’m glad you went for the MRI, and they found out what was causing the problem. Get well quick...and stay well!

Yes, I am petrified every time I cough now. But, thank god, I am not having anymore of those violent “wake up at 3AM” coughing fits. And, I can turn on the kitchen/bedroom light and go outside again in the sunlight without my right eye throbbing in pain.

Don’t panic
Carotid dissection unless ominous is not life threatening
It can be repaired if it doesn’t self heal
Usually by a stent coated with platelet inhibitors
It’s really not a big deal in expert hands
You may need to be on plavix or something like that for a while
After repair to a dissection or stent placement it’s routine to offset stroke risk

Have they found the cause for the coughing? I’ve been coughing since November.
What did the ER do? Give you an aspirin?

Glad they found the cause and you're getting better. Out of curiosity, I just looked up Carotid Artery Dissection on Wiki and found a couple of interesting points (that I'm sure you've seen):
- The goal of treatment is to prevent the development or continuation of neurologic deficits. Treatments include observation, anticoagulation, stent implantation and carotid artery ligation.
- 70% of patients with carotid arterial dissection are between the ages of 35 and 50, with a mean age of 47 years.
Interesting that it is a middle-age problem. Are you in that age bracket? Sounds like an excellent prognosis.
To: Terry Mross
The coughing has subsided as I’m on Amoxicillin (sp?) now......was an infection.
