Hi, I have a question for you. In may I passed out and had gone through a lot of tests heart, brain scan, doppler, etc, and I am still having problems with dizziness off and on. I had to go to the er last week due to almost passing out again, Im having problems with my neck and have tingling in my right arm and alot of times when I get dizzy I get tingling to my face. Could it be a pinched nerve in my neck or something to do with my neck problems?
Hi there, Your problem in the arm could be attributed to your neck problem since your nerve supplies areas in the lower level of the body. However, the areas superior to the neck is not innervated by the nerves in the neck area but if the neck problem also affects the large vessel supplying the head from the heart through the neck then it would explain the symptoms. Have a CT angiogram of both carotid arteries, this might clinch the diagnosis and starts the process of correcting this matter eventually. Feel free to give us feedback on the results. Thanks,
