Answer
Hello Rosanne,

   If it's been a while since you saw your medical doctor you may want to have a re-exam of the arteries to make sure they are not causing the symptoms.  Then you may want to see a doctor of chiropractic to determine if a pinched nerve is causing the symptoms.

Have a great day,
