Hi,I am Dr. Prabhakar Koregol (Cardiologist). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
Today, I m experiencing a dull pain on left carotid artery. Once in awhile I feel the same dull pain..at the same location when I m running. Just as a heads up..I m a healthy marathon runner. What are your thoughts?. Oh, and have an history of hypertension an Acid reflux.
I've read your question and understanding your concern.
I want to tell you Blockage in arteries can give you dull and shooting Pain. Pain at a particular place can also be because of muscular or bony pain. If the Pain don't increase or decrease during running then it can not be because of Carotid Artery.
It is advisable to get a Carotid Artery colur Doppler done to confirm if any blood circulation is impaired. And if it comes normal then personally see a orthopeditian .
Hopefully I answered all your Quaries Good Luck
