@jobli0 the more severe, essentially the more risk there is for stroke. Stroke can impact your brain health so would not take the diagnosis lightly and if I were you, I think I would either seek clarification for why waiting until July won't impact your health or seek a second opinion if you don't feel confident in the response.

I'd like to bring in members @hendglenn2000 @feelingthankful and @mshutch who may have some experiences they can share with you.

Do you feel you can ask for clarification?

Thank you for helping me with my decision. I drafted and sent a mychart message to my PCP asking if she felt a six month wait for an appointment is appropriate when the head c-t scan showed severe stenosis of V4 vertebral artery and severe stenosis of P1 segment of the left posterior cerebral artery.
Initially, her referral for the head c-t scan was for my issues with balance and dizziness.
