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.

Dr Raff and another doctor agreed
