Hi there,

My partner has started complaining of slight light headedness on standing from sitting and carotid bruit. Am hoping this could be stenosis and nothing more serious. What is the drill? I am supposing that it needs fairly quick diagnosis for someone to make an estimate of how blocked it is as a means to establish how urgent the need for surgery is. Is that correct? BTW which medical speciality deals with this?

Brian did you eventually proceed with having something done. In which case what procedure did you opt for and why and how did it go?

Thanks
Cathy
