I'm scared..........

Hello everyone,I don't post here much,but I went to the DR. last week and found out I have some blockage in a carotid artery. I am scared to death! I would really appreciate some feedback on treatment and I would also appreciate any prayers! Thanks!

I will definately be praying for you. I would keep a notebook for doctor's visits. That way you can organize your thoughts and jot down questions as they come up. Post back and let us know how you're doing.

What initially prompted you to go to the doctor? Were you experiencing any symptoms? If so, what were they?

I will keep my fingers crossed for you. :saint:
