Can Arthritis Be Caused The Tendency Of Blood Flow To Lower Side?

My blood pressure tends to be on the lower side, but I feel blood pounding in my face. I suffer from chronic tension headaches, but can have the pounding even when I don t have the headache. I recently was diagnosed with multiple levels of arthritis in my neck, could blood flow be comprised due to this?

Hello,

Your low blood pressure and pounding problem has nothing to do with your arthritis at neck region. Arthritis can restrict your movement at your neck, it can lead to radiation of pain at your arms or at legs (If there is compression of nerves due to bones).

Such type of headaches which arises due to arthritis of neck are labelled as cervicogenic headaches. These headaches arise after pain at neck & do not trigger generally with emotional stress.

Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
