been hospital for results of a mri and they found a artery in my neck that is blocked with a anurisam above got to see vasculer sergan and was that shock did not ask any ???s

Aneurisms are related to your heart, and your circulation..I take it its not an aortic aneurism?..

all i took in was there is 4 main artery in my neck and it is 1 of the 4 on my left side been havin bad head aches and dizzy spell and numb arm right arm and im only 34

Mmm I see, well firstly don`t worry..(easier said than done I know)..I was going to ask ur age, but you gave me that info..aneurisms can happen in any major blood vessel..on the most part..the aorta in the heart..)older people tend to get these)..it is generally a weakening of an arterey..When is ur vascular appointment?

tueday and that makes it most scary cos i only sore nuro fri so i no its urgant

high blood pressure and arteriosclerosis..risk factors..was ur blood pressure up?..(headaches side effect of this)..they might decide to either...just monitor you...and observe..treat u conservatively..

112 // 62 is that normal

dont be alarmed..its good ur appointment is asap..in view of ur age..they wouldnt want to sit on u....some people live with this condition for yrs..inevitably..aneurisms DO need treatment..as they can rupture...I emphasise..EVENTUALLY..it can be yrs and yrs..ur young so U will be okay..It is a worry..just take it easy

he said i was prob born with a weakness in artery
and it was under develeped but it was not is area of expertice and was not 100% sure but forgot to ask if its dangeress

thats very good blood pressure..thats the thing with medical profession sometimes..they expect patients to know what they are on a bout!..

ill try not to worry cant wait to see vasculer doc got lots of ?? i need to no im safe to drive with kids in car or to cos my jobs is lots of liftin and stuff like that

Mmm..You have probably had it since birth most likely..and as u got older it has got a bit weaker..Imagine the wall of ur artery is made of elastic band material..and yrs of pumping blood threw it over yrs just weakens a small part of it..it can bulge...eventually it can rupture..luckily..they have found urs therefore can treat it..

h i wish you well :))

make sure you write a list down so that u dont forget..sounds like ur in a manual job..ask bout that too..a lot would have gone over ur head..coz its like a different language..u will be okay..just be aware of symptoms..u iniatially had..

Ur welcome..make sure u keep me updated..send me a private message..if need be..I am an A.E sister..and I see mostly aortic aneurisms..they get observed for yrs sometimes..eventually they need an op..just take one step at a time..
