Patient's question:
I've been having frequent dizziness lately, and I can't seem to eat properly either. My mental state isn't great either. When I went to the hospital for a check-up, they said it's related to a blood issue. I'm wondering if I should get tested for carotid artery inflammation. Which department should I go to for this?Doctor's answer:
The neck is uncomfortable again. If you want to do a carotid arteritis examination, you can usually have a neck color Doppler ultrasound to understand the blood flow in the neck arteries. Additionally, an MRI can be performed to determine if there is a recurrence of carotid stenosis. Oral blood-activating and stasis-resolving drugs can be used for treatment. At the same time, it is also necessary to pay attention to whether there is a recurrence of a foreign body sensation in the throat.
