Why Am I Sometimes Fatigued With High BP And Consistent Sounds That I Hear?

Sometimes especially when driving I am overwhelmed with fatigue and I need to pull off the road and close my eyes. It could be the middle of the day. I am a fairly fit 44 year old woman and very active. This just started in the past year or so. I have controlled high BP and after hearing consistent sounds in my carotid a Doppler revealed 25-49% blockage in both carotids. Could that be responsible for the sudden onset of fatigue?

hello

welcome to the forum

As per your description, your symptom of fatigue is probably related to haemodynamic etiology........(High BP and blocked carotids).....

I advise you to consult a cardiologist/general physician for detailed evaluation as soon as possible

Wish you good health

Thanks
