The above link is a look at what I've been diagnosed with. I'm going to have a 3D MRI on Dec 22nd with Dr. Collins at UCLA, the premier specialist in his field. I can't begin to say that I understand fully Thoracic Outlet, but when my Neurologist took my blood pressure in the normal position and then with my arm overhead and the pressure and pulse went away completely he knew that I had some form of Thoracic Outlet.
This could explain a number of complaints that I've had over the years including sleep apnea, bloating, high blood pressure (even when medication is administered).. and other things that doctors tried to throw medications at.
So I'm hopeful that this simple test will show something... it can't hurt and my insurance is paying for it so what the hell, right?!
OK, I'm really going now! BYE!
