That’s important information. I had one that showed stenosis of my peripheral celiac artery. Significant information to know and based on my symptoms it’s a large contributor to my problems.
Good luck to you!

Thank you so much for sharing that! I am really glad they were able to catch that on your scan so you could finally understand what was contributing to your problems.
If you are open to sharing, I am really curious about the timeline of your journey with the celiac artery stenosis. What was your absolute primary symptom? For me, it’s constant nausea, and a globus sensation and sometimes lightheadedness. How did your symptoms initially start?
Did your symptoms have a sudden, cyclical onset, or did they slowly build up over time? And once they started, did they come and go in waves, or was it a pretty constant daily struggle?

I'm also wondering if your standard CT with contrast was enough to catch the stenosis, or if you had to push your doctors for a specific vascular scan to finally see it.

Please don't feel any pressure to answer if it's too much typing, but any insight into how your symptoms developed would be so incredibly helpful for me to keep in mind.
