Neurosurgeon ASAP: Hypoplastic vertebral artery means narrowing of a neck blood vessel and people who have it are often born with it. This increases the risk of stroke. Pregnancy also tends to make the blood clot more easily thus you are at increased risk of stroke. Manipulation could also have causes blood vessel tear in a compromised area. Given you are having symptoms, immediate evaluation is highly advised.
