Twisted carotid artery

[AngelicSpirits36]

I am a 36 year old female that just found out that i have a twisted carotid artery. My question is there a procedure to fix it or if its not causing any harm just leave it alone?

Statins have been found to be dangerous for women.  If you don't need them, don't take them.

There are safer things to do or take.

Can you tell me the symptoms oft twisted arteries in the neck area.  I believe I have this problem.  For 30 years I been having this pitching feeling in my neck on and off as, I got older I been having this pressure in my neck with the pitching feel.  I now have pressure in my right ear I did see two ENT Doctors and both told me its not related to my ears.  I also have this balance problem for the last 10 years.  I related my balance problem with mercury poisoning but I no longer have mercury poisoning.  I had all of my old fillings removed.  I do not have any vertigo.  I can also hear my heart beating in my ear.  I noticed when I move my head to the side right side down towards my right shoulder the pressure is released but as soon as I put my head back up the pressure comes back.  My neck does not hurt just pressure and sometimes pitching feeling.    What do you think.

The carotid arteries carry the oxygenated blood to the anterior brain.
if the twist creates a loss of flow, it is recommended that remedial surgery be performed (Keyhole).
Blockages in carotid are a cause of transient ischemic attack or stroke!
