Hi,

My father in law ten years ago also realized he has only one carotid. He is almost 84 years old and he is very healthy. sometimes (rarely) he suffers altitude sickness or dizziness but in general he is very healthy but obvioulsy he takes care about his alimentation habits. This morning we were talking about this rare condition, I googled it and found this forum, it is amazing how the human body finds the way to compensate and works properly for an entire life. Please let me know if there is some specific care for the condition for my 84's father in law. (by the way, that comment of having a tatoo saying "no pulse here" is the best!) Regards.
