A member asked:
Can a small blow by the tip of a book to the neck cause artery dissection? just shortly after i have a clogged head sensation?

Artery dissection would be highly unlikely from the incident you described. For healthy diet: http://www.choosemyplate.gov/., exercise 30 minutes/day, drink enough water daily so your urine is mostly colorless, have safe sex, no tobacco alcohol weed or street drugs. Get HPV, Flu and Covid vaccines. Wish you good health!

Clogged head sensation is not the symptom of internal carotid artery dissection.
