VAD-emergency: Did you have any neck or shoulder injury recently, or any repetitive motion by chance such as throwing balls etc? These symptoms are worrisome for a vertebral artery dissection (vad), which can also occur spontaneously. Do not delay having this evaluated, VAD is a potentially fatal condition.
