Just being overly cautious I suppose. I have health anxiety. So, even if I’m assured things ate fine, I still followup to confirm. I had the ultrasound after reporting intermittent neck pain to my primary, it must have been a strained muscle. It hasn’t returned.

My report looks pretty good. There is no % of stenosis, though I’m not sure what that means. I recall the tech who was administering the ultrasound commented that while she was not qualified to interpret the data, my tests were textbook normal based on her training, which I was glad to hear. Still, I was nervous waiting the results.

Since I have longterm tI diabetes, I live as if I have cardiovascular problem as a precaution.

Did your report look different from mine? No mention of Doppler flow velocity or percentage of stenosis? That’s weird.
