Hello,

Arteries in the neck do not cause symptoms like numbness unless a stroke has happened, a damage of a brain area due to lack of blood supply.

That would have been visible on CT and MRI so if MRI turns back normal than neck artery issues are to be excluded as the cause.

So the answer if MRI turns out normal should be searched either in a peripheral nerve issue of at times also due to anxiety.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Take care
