Have Neck Pain And Diagnosed As Vertebral Stenosis. Feeling Off Balance. Worried Of Dissection. Recommendations?
I ve been having a neck pain the last couple days after working out, and was diagnosed with a vertebral stenosis earlier this week. They did a carotid dopplar for me after hearing a carotid bruit. I have been feeling off balance recently and having trouble doing simple balance tests (i.e. standing on one foot ). I also felt a light headache earlier in one spot. I am worried about a vertebral dissection. Do I need to go to the ER for this now or do I wait till tomorrow to see a doctor?
I suggest you to consult Neurologist for neurological assessment and you may require MRI brain with angiogram of neck and brain to sort out the problem.
I hope this helps you
Regards

Hi, Based on details , one need to rule out posterior circulation stroke in view of vertebral stenosis and the neurological symptoms you mentioned. I suggest you to consult Neurologist for neurological assessment and you may require MRI brain with angiogram of neck and brain to sort out the problem. I hope this helps you Regards
