A new study finds that millions of Americans may have this artery disorder that can cause additional complications, such as stroke, aneurysm, and elevated blood pressure.

Fibromuscular dysplasia is a condition where the fibrous tissues in arteries collects, leading to a narrowing of the artery. It can happen in any of the arteries in the body but are found mostly in the neck or kidney.

When fibromuscular dysplasia isn’t detected and treated, it could cause a tear in the artery, which can be fatal. Some of the symptoms include headache, dizziness, neck pain, ringing or whooshing sound in ear, and high blood pressure. Additionally, this condition tends to affect women much more than men.

Researchers indicate the reason it is often undiagnosed is because doctors don’t typically look for it. Therefore, it’s oftentimes found by chance after the patient has undergone some type of medical imaging testing.
