I agree with you totally. My cardiologist told me the right carotid artery was a red flag for him which is why I had the tests he suggested.

I have been suffering from anxiety attacks the last two plus years, so I have had a lot of medical tests for stroke and heart problems. All negative.

I try and be careful on what I eat and I do walk about 3.5 to 4 miles at least 5 to 6 days a week and recently have been swimming. So right now I am doing pretty well, but I am trying to be watchful and careful.

Thanks so much for your input and information. Lots of pros and cons on stents, in fact I saw a study yesterday that said they were not very effective. I think I would dispute that. I would rather have a stent that have full open bypass surgery.
