Hey there!
I didn't know where to post this so I'm just gonna put it here... I hope my English is understandable haha... anyway here it goes. I'm currently a 20yr old medical student, somehow I incidentally discovered a right carotid bruit, its easy to auscult (diastolic), you can actually feel the thrill... I'm currently asymptomatic, yet I'm worried... I've been researching about it... I used to be fat but I'm way too young for early atheroesclerosis disease, there's no history of stroke or miocardial infarction in my family or any lipid disorders... I dont have any other morbidities, but yes I've got diabetes history in mi family.
I've decided to get an US Doppler done. I visited my endocrinologist but he didn't really catch the bruit because it's kind of deeply buried by the right clavicle, it sounds pretty loud to auscultation, guess I should visit a cardiologist or a vascular surgeon...
Just wanted to share this experience, does anybody suffer something alike? Any suggestions or similar cases would help.
Thx everyone!
