[QUOTE="Jena, post: 268875, member: 4514"] hi guys and thanks :) Sharon - yes with-o a doubt do not need stress from them!! :) Andy - Yea, a night away would do me wonders at this point. Yet I'll take what I can get, gotta love my bathroom get aways! LOL. Steely - It was odd, he just talked to me alot, and I told him some stuff, if you remember last year my gp kept thinking i had ms. He kept pushing me to go to neuro yet I didnt', now i have insurance so im giong to dr.s' and making myself..... :) so, he listed to my heart basically, and he caught the bruit it's called, it's a sound that comes through when listening to the arteries, there isn't supposed to be a sound. he found it on the right side of my neck, the artery there. Yes I thought odd as well being my age, yet he said based on fact you smoke and are perimonpausal and he said he's not a gyn yet sounds like ihave been for a while, i'm at a higher risk. So, tuesday i go in and they'll pop a halter on me for a day and than i get a carotid duplex test. which basically will let him see the blood flow into artery and how blocked it is, etc. than from there i guess we'll figure out what to do. they can be dangerous it causes stroke if you do not realize it, or embolism. only due to fact you have 4 in total. 2 on each side. it's often overlooked, yet symptoms can be dizziness, lightheaded, swelling in certain areas, fatigue, tired. I think i'm lucky to be honest. had that not happened that day i wouldn't of known about it, so i am lucky cause now i can fix it. he did say anyone over 40 who smokes should have yearly stress tests to see exactly how those arteries are functioning. i also have high cholesterol it seems. i have some changes to make for sure. :) how are you doing?? do you have health concerns regarding you?? i'm sensing you do [/QUOTE]
