I am 39 and just found out ive plaque deposits on both caratoid arteries in my neck the cardioligist said blood flow is normal .worried?

Things to learn: If not severe and blood flow ok, no immediate worry. Plaque, atherosclerosis is how blood vessels age. Early change at this age is no big surprise. It'll continue, likely eventually in coronaries (heart) & elsewhere. Your goal: try to slow it! NEVER smoke, treat blood pressure, cholesterol & diabetes (if present) aggressively, exercise, healthy diet, control weight. Hope this helps.
