Dear Friend.
Hi , I am Dr Anshul Varshney , I have read your query in detail , I understand your concern.
This can be serious and can lead to Stroke any time.
I would like to see the reports of MR Angiography if done. Or the report that you have which claims this stenosis. I need to know where you have stenosis, usually we use the word stenosis for Carotid Artery.
Treatment options would depend on the exact diagnosis.

This is my personal opinion based on details available here.
