Not hard: Your primary physician can advise you whether this is needed.
A carotid ultrasound is easy, safe, painless,

It is very important that the test is done by highly experienced, well qualified vascular
lab, not a fly by night cash-cow place.

very dangerous, low risk of stroke.
More than this % of narrowing has risk stroke of 1-3% per year, if no symptoms.
