Specializes in Neurosurgery

Maybe.: Sometimes, you can develop a condition called "subclavian steal" where the arm steals blood from the brain causing dizziness. Fixing the narrowing (sometimes with a stent) can stop the arm from stealing blood from the brain. See your physician if you would like more information.
