A member asked:
2 months since biopsy have headache, dizziness, tachycardias, neck pain after cervical lymph node biopsy, could my carotid artery have been injured.
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Not really: Anything is possible but the injury would be unlikely, it would have been readily apparent if it happened at the time of biopsy and your symptoms are not consistent with a carotid eatey injury so I would guess your carotid artery is fine.
