Default Subclavian steal syndrome and other insufficiencies

Hi, Can you tell us more about these two? What symptoms did you experience? What was the underlying cause(s)? What treatments were tried? How was the diagnosis done?

I ask because I have had some strange symptoms, like getting light-headed when my arm is in a down position. Also, getting light-headed when turning my head to one side (not the other) and even worse if tilted back. I found later that such a head position was used as a diagnostic for vb insufficiency!

After some diazepam, OMT and PT, I'm doing better, but still, I would love to hear from a fellow patient what they experienced with the conditions you mentioned.
