How can Thoracic Outlet Syndrome be cured?


It usually is worst when I wake up. I obviously sleep in a bad position and my neck, shoulders and sometimes my arm is locked in a bad position. Then my ring finger and pinky are numb when I wake up. Sometimes I have blotchiness in my hand.Vision is sometimes blurry. My pulse quickens under my arm pit.
Once in a while my whole lower arm is numb. I have stiffness in the inside of my elbow.
Then I move my neck around and get up it goes away. Sometimes when my neck gets real stiff I see stars to my right and left as I turn my head. There is a ringing in my ear that goes from slight to intense usually right after I wake up.
Are these symptoms of Thoracic Outlet Syndrome and how can I help it?
I workout 3 to 4 days a week for 30 minutes to an hour.
I love to cycle and do spin classes but the strain on my neck is to much later.
I am slightly overweight at 24% body fat.

Sounds a bit like it, have a doctor check your subclavian artery and vein. The cure is surgical decompression of aforementioned artery and vein.

tos is congenital. you need surgery .
