A member asked:
Should i get a carotid u/s if im having reoccurring sharp pain? only last seconds, sometimes one side sometimes the other. my bp is normal to low..

No you don't need: Carotid stenosis would not give sharp neck pain as you describing. If you have carotid artery stenosis, which is very unusual as like your young age, may cause weakness if the opposite extremities.
