Possible carotid artery problem discovered 3 weeks after double heart bypass surgery.

My hubby has been home for 2 weeks after his bypass surgery, and because of an ongoing vision problem, it's now suspected that his carotid artery also has blockage(s) and clots are happening. He's going to have an ultrasound urgently. Poor man, still very much recovering from surgery. Is this familiar to anyone? Hes Type 1 diabetic which is probably root cause. Any advice?
