What Is The Treatment For Chronic Headaches And Migraines?
I am a healthy and fit 25 yo female. I have recently discovered I have a cervical rib on my left side which for some reason has a very prominent pulse not at all symmetrical to my right side. I suffer from chronic headaches and migraines and have for years. What could be this pulse and are the chronic headaches related? Kind regards Aimee

the pulses you are feeling can be due to compression of subclavian artery. meanwhile, the headache is not a symptom caused by cervical rib. you might be suffering from episodes of tension headache.
