mjan Posted May 13, 2009 Report Share Posted May 13, 2009 I have had pressure in my carotid/neck mostly on left side or both at times. But now I am having this pressure/pain nearly everyday. I feel ok with it..but just wonder if its noteworthy to tell my PCP?OH.. and I started my Rx Clonipin PRN. I take it when I feel myself get tachy to prevent a full blown adrenal surge. Both the Neuro and my beloved PCP said to watch my BP as it can raise it high and I already on a betablocker for high BP. Actually my BP is GOOD and even better when I use the clonidine. Its NOT typical to use clonidine as a PRN med and not continous. Oh.. how I wish I had thise med YEARS ago.. I would not have gotten so bad.Anyone else take RX Clonidine?Thanks Jan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
morgan617 Posted May 13, 2009 Report Share Posted May 13, 2009 Probably worth getting checked out. especially if it's getting worse. I took clonidine, but didn't tolerate it. Per the usual. They can check your carotids very easily and not invasive at all. I guess I always think it's better to be safe than sorry. good luck! morgan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Radha Posted May 14, 2009 Report Share Posted May 14, 2009 i also have pain in the left carotid area of my neck very often and it does worry me at times, never switches sides, but i have never gotten it checked and it hasnt progressed to anything more than just pain........i am not able to leave my home or i would have gotten it checked, if you can, i am sure it would be good to get it checked....please let us know what happens,Radha Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
