Fibromuscular Dysplasia

Fibromuscular dysplasia (FMD) is a rare condition where extra cells grow inside the walls of arteries, causing them to narrow or bulge. This can lead to reduced blood flow to organs like the kidneys, brain, and abdomen, potentially causing permanent damage. Symptoms can include high blood pressure, dizziness, chronic headaches, and vision problems. FMD is most often seen in people 25 to 50 years of age and affects women more often than men. Early detection and treatment are important for managing this condition.
