Question 1

can a hard slap on the back of the neck damage the blood vessels?

Accepted Answer

: Most unlikely as muscular damage is most possible. Good Luck

Question 2

what is the best radiologic testing to find damage to the blood vessels of the neck?

Accepted Answer

It depends: It depends on what they are looking for.  Conventional angiography is still considered the 'gold standard'.  However, it is invasive.  In practice, lower risk non-invasive tests like CT angiography, MR angiography, or sonography can answer most clinical questions.

Question 3

6yr/old child has either spider veins or busted blood vessels on her neck and has been there about 1 yr. is this normal if not what could be wrong?

Accepted Answer

Unusual Symptoms: This is an unusual problem. As with any skin condition, it would be helpful to be able to examine the area of concern before determining a diagnosis and plan of care. Call your doctor to schedule an appointment.

Question 4

Accepted Answer

Neck compress: Not really, unless you too much pressure.

Question 5

the right side of my back & neck feel strained. the blood vessels on the right side of my head seem to thump w/ headache. back of head hurts, too

Accepted Answer

You need to be seen: Go to a doctor to have this looked at.  Must rule out vascular sources of headache.  Go to an er if this is new.

Question 6

when i bend my head forward i get dizzy or side to side mri was fine, could it be blood vessels? i start p.t. for vesbular therapy on neck tomorrow.

Accepted Answer

Could be. : Not as likely in your age.  Vertebral artery narrowing can cause dizziness. These vessels can be damaged in neck trauma. If you have had no recent accidents then they are probably ok. These vessels can become narrow when people are 50 or older. If therapy does not work, ask your doctor to check the blood vessels in your head and neck.

Question 7

i woke up with an aching right side of neck, and a line of what looks like broken blood vessels/ pin print red/purple dots on my neck. should i get this checked out?

Accepted Answer

: Sounds like Shingles on the right side of the neck. Could also be one of a number of skin/vascular outbreaks. Yes, good idea to see PCP to check it out.

Question 8

i experience painful blood vessels in hands feet,legs and arms,burst veins, cramp, painful spasms in neck, tinitus and tingling in hands and mouth?

Accepted Answer

Sounds like: some of your symptoms may be related to your fibromyalgia.  It does not look like you are taking any medication for this.  If you are having swelling/edema in your extremities that can also be a cause for the "burst veins".  Varicose veins can also become inflamed, causing your symptoms.  I would recommend you see your doctor to have these addressed.  There ARE treatments for fibromyalgia!

Question 9

visible blood vessels back of throat?

Accepted Answer

Could be normal: Couild be normal vessels on the surface, but best to be examined by your otolaryngologist.

Question 10

my throat, i think the laryngopharynx portion is what it's called, has turned a yellowish color and the blood vessels are very prominent. normal?

Accepted Answer

Not normal. : That doesn't sound normal. Are you having any other symptoms?  This could be an infection, either current or yet-to-come. Perhaps a doctor should have a look.
