Hi again.... Was wondering what your thoughts were on my last post about the emg test
Well i had my EMG, that did not go very well.. everything was pretty normal until he put a needle into my arm, it was like the third one,.. to test the muscle ... all the sudden, my entire left side and especially my face uncontrollably tensed up and i found myself unable to think clearly. this episode lasted for about 5 minutes, the doctor turned off the light, stopped the procedure, and ordered an EEG. the left side of my face continued to stay frozen for about an hour after that. it was very odd.. when it happened, i had no thoughts, it was hard to concentrate on what the doctor was asking me.. ( things like.. what year is it) it was like in was in no space land, no thoughts, no feelings, nothing. like... time didnt even exist. odd.
the doc said the DVA was of no concern, but that he would order an MRA for peice of mind due to family HX, and and EEG due to my reaction to the EMG test. kinda scared.. what happened was very strange. i mean.. i have had the left side of my face act funky, but when he did that, i went into some wierd thing. i was paralyazed.. like in a different place. ugh.
Sorry for the delay in response...flu season.
Incidental tiny developmental venous anomaly is yet another big combination of words describing blood vessels that create an odd pattern.
DVA's are normally found by chance...during an MRI.
Most people show no symptoms at all.
The involved vessels are not abnormally formed, but apparently merely dilated.
Neurosurgeons classify DVAs as benign lesions because they normally do not present with any clinical symptoms during one’s lifespan.
Because they found no blockages, they will assume that your DVA means nothing bad is going to happen.
Hope this helps...if not keep posting more questions...I'm here when I can be. lol
Sorry to bump.... But can anyone give opinion??
