Just thought you'd feel better knowing that the brain has miraculous recovery systems and backup systems to keep you alive. The Brain re-routed blood from her good side to the rest of the brain while surgery was done on the opposite side. Still.... I suggest going to your Dr and having stroke ruled out.

I'm having these kinds of neurological problems since 2 years, when I had a doppler test on the arteries in the neck and based on the result I was diagnosed with vertebrobasilar insufficiency. 6 months later I had mild symptoms of vascular and neurological TOS (blood pooling in lowered hand, tingling in the scapula region when sitting in slouched posture), but I didn't know what it was at that time.
8 months ago I had brain MRI and MRA (without contrast) and it did not show anything. Just 2 months ago symptoms of neuro TOS worsened a bit, and that is when I learned about TOS for the first time. I then went to a vascular surgeon who did not diagnose me with TOS when I mentioned it to him. It is for this reason I'm wondering if there is a connection between my neurological symptoms and TOS. |

If this is happening because of TOS, then I will have to worry about the TOS problem and nothing else.

it can be a 100% TOS connection, or a combination of TOS and another issue (your cervical?)

You need to see a vascular MD ASAP and describe these symptoms. I know from personal experience it can be hard to remember everything during a medical appointment when you're dizzy. Write this all down and hand him/her a copy. And take notes during the appointment.

I had similiar symptoms, I constantly felt like I was passing out. When the subclavian artery was being compressed, my vertebral artery stopped flowing completely. This is not a good thing and you do need to have it checked.
