Could a dull, intermittant pain on the left side of my neck be a sign of an impending stroke? -

I am diabetic and have hypertension. Had a thalium stress recently that was apparently normal. What kind of test should I get to make sure my cartotid artery is not blocked?

You can probably get an ultrasound done to check out your carotids. This is what they used to check my mom s after she had a stroke. You definately need to get that checked out.

big words! but since no one else did ill try to answer.. do whatever ur doctor thinks u should do
