Non calcified Plaque in carotid artery

2024-07-04 18:19:01
I'm a 25 year old female. Recently I underwent a CT angio test for thorax and neck due to extreme dizziness and chest pain along with shortness of breath. The test shows "Focal Non calcified eccentric Plaque in the origin of Left Common Carotid Artery causing 50% luminal narrowing" and now I'm terrified. The doctor says it's nothing, and prescribed ecosprin AV but I'm very concerned. I do have a family history with heart disease. My question is, can this be reversed? Other than losing weight what can be done?
