Diane, doctor noticed minor blockage in my neck on 2008 when I just diagnosed with MM.. It only shows progression in 2014. But so far I didn't have any symptoms due to this newly progressed condition. Actually my STA-MAC surgery went so well that most of the time I don't even remember I'm a MM patient. I didn't have any TIA since the surgery and no numbness and dizziness. Only few minor headache, not a problem at all. I'm very active on sports and running. I thought I was totally recovered, until last summer, out of a sudden I start having high blood pressure (as high as 170/120) for months without any specific reason. My diet was very clean, I exercise regularly, I maintain a very healthy weight, I drink enough water, I work fulltime.......you name it, I did everything I (and the doctor) can think of, but after all said and done, my blood pressure still refuse to go down. So I did an MRI/MRA to see if it's anything related to MM....the local neurologist said that my blood pressure MIGHT due to the narrowed neck artery...I'll have the angio next Monday. We'll see...
