A doctor has provided 1 answer

Need to be watched: Means you have early narrowing of blood vessels in your neck. Which can progress and cause further narrowing and increase risk of stroke. No surgery needed now, but you have to be on high doses if statins and an Aspirin a day. Repeat carotid doppler every 2 years. If you have high blood pressure or diabetes , should be well controlled.
