Right Vertebral Artery Occlusion
Hello everyone. I recently had an Neck MRI w/contrast due to dizziness that showed an unchanged chronic right vertebral artery occlusion. There is no stenosis of the remaining arteries of the neck.
My question is, can a person live a normal life with just one artery? What does this result mean? Is there anything that can be done to resolve this? I do experience dizziness when laying down on my right side, I've had chronic headaches for over 10 years and occasional dizziness when walking.
Any help or feedback will help. I dont have an appointment with my cardiologist until the 25th of October and this has me worried.
