Many of us are aware of blockage in the arteries and the problems associated with that. The main cause of arterial blockage is accumulation of plaque in the blood vessels in our body. Another major cause of the blockage is consumption of fatty foods, and foods with high cholesterol.
Carotid Artery Blockage is blockage within the major artery supplying the brain. You will recognize this artery as the artery felt in the neck below the jawbone. Often used for taking the pulse during exercise.
If this artery becomes blocked then the brain's blood supply in cut off and you suffer a stroke. I have put together a blog about this condition at the link in the above paragraph
