A member asked:
Which test would show if there is adequate blood flow to the brain ?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Well if you feel: Dizzy or light heaed your own brain is telling you you need more flow to your brain. But... Your doctors need to examine you and listen for something called bruits in your neck. They can order proper testing after that examination.
