Blocked carotid artery and headaches

	Asked by amp83 (Female; 55; high cholesterol. Always had low cholesterol, 145-165 until last year when for the first time it was 245. Have really bad headaches sometimes. ) on Sat 04, Apr 2009 12:41pm :
	Severe headaches for several years. No one can figure out why. About a year and a half ago my gynecologist told me to start taking B2. It has helped but still get them sometimes. I just found out that I have 55% blockage of the left carotid artery. Could the headaches be caused by that? I know some of the headaches are sinus headaches.
