Dr. Clemens Schirmer answered

Specializes in Interventional Neuroradiology and Endovascular Neurosurgery

Problem?: Your question is not specific enough to tell whether you are referring to a particular problem or what the problem is (e.g. Are you otherwise tall and slender?) i would discuss this with your primary doctor to see if he agrees that there even is a problem that requires any workup.
