What Are The Symptoms Of Pinched Artery?

i was in a car accident in 2003 and have seen a doctor for quite some time, that put me on the orthocthogonal (spelling incorrect) bed this seemed to help with the headaches. But after a week my neck would be out again. The cranium was off set from the axis and is pinching the left vertebral artery. What are some of the symptoms of a pinched artery?

Your pinched left vertebral artery could lead to variable symptoms:

-Dizzines ( a feeling of lightheadedness)
-Episodes of nausea and vomiting.
-Disturbance of consciousness, disorientantion, etc
-Headaches
- Visual disturbances like double vision, blurring vision , vision spots etc.
- Speech disturbance , difficulty in articulating words
-Numbness and tingling in the face and scalp
