Internal Jugular Vein Compression and Intracranial Hypertension - Symptoms, Causes, & Testing
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 5 май 2021
- Ross Hauser, MD discusses some of the common symptoms and conditions associated with intracranial hypertension from internal jugular vein compression, as well as methods we use to determine if this is likely what is causing a patient's symptoms. We see many patients with intracranial hypertension who come to our center because they have a constellation of symptoms like head pressure, brain fog, eye pain, glaucoma, vision problems, and many others that indicate the root cause may involve their internal jugular vein being compressed in the upper cervical spine.
To read more about the symptoms and conditions associated with internal jugular vein compression and the "clogged brain toilet" due to upper cervical instability, check out our article:

This has to be taught to all physicians! Upper Cervical Instability is the answer to so many problems.
Absolutely agree
Physicians dont make money off healthy people

@@ronalddunlap9933 im saying regular physicians dont care about getting you well there not gonna tell you about upper cervical care there goal is to hand out prescriptions
@@matthaines8136 Your 100 % correct !!!!
Thank you so much! I can’t believe how underdiagnosed ijv compression is. You are helping so many people!
Hi James, You are so welcome! Happy to help. Appreciate the kind note.
What is the fix tho ?
Forward head posture is gonna create an epidemic of numerous weird issues ,it's crazy
These videos on the compression of arteries and veins in the neck literally saved my quality of life . Having gone to numerous eye doctors who say my eyes are fine but I have sparks floaters and horrible pain behind my left eye . Thank you for doing these videos
Thank you for the kind words! Glad we could help!
Do you have neck pain?
So I've been having swallowing issues, a feeling that the hyoid or thyroid cartilage is jabbing my throat. Tension from the throat to the collar bone when swallowing. After watching this I realized I had a period of time where just rolling from one side to the other in bed would cause dizziness and anxiety that would go away in about 5 seconds. I'm becoming more and more confident that I need to come see you.
FINALLY ... a doctor that explains EVERYTHING I'm going through!!! I just PRAY YOU ALL TAKE MY CASE!! I'm so scared that it will be just another image that "looks normal"!! I need answers so badly!!!
WERRRD!!!!
Saaaassame 😭
We need to get Dr. Hauser on The Dr. Oz Show! Can’t believe NOBODY else in medicine is talking about this topic or specialty- and how much time, money, and stress it can save so many people with “mysterious” symptoms who can FINALLY get themselves diagnosed + treated properly!
Hi JT G, Thank you for your kind feedback. Wish you all the best in health!
No, keep these real doctor off that Hollywood trash propaganda network. Hauser is a real christian physician, he has nothing to do with those fake ass doctors on TV.
This is why I only felt better laying down! I felt ashamed and embarrassed. Like I was lazy and I don't understand why! I felt tired All The time! I've had pressure in my neck in the jugular area. Wow this makes so much sense and I have spondlyothesis. Wow. Thank you so much doctor. You're amazing. Now what to do next. Sigh
@@slycooper2950lz reply 🙏 Can gym workout help Reducing jagular vein compression?
hi, how are you doing now?
Excellent post. Thank you for the informative video.
Amazing video! no one does it better than you Doc!
Thank you, Sean. Very kind of you to say that!
Life changing & most valuable Dr visit of my life. Thank you ❤️❤️❤️
Thank you Doc, I'm learning a lot.
Wow, First time I ever felt someone understands!
I understand
So amazing Dr. Hauser..thank you for your super valuable information. Can't wait for new videos.
Thanks so much, Dr. Rice. :)
Thank you for explaining this in detail, because other physicians misdiagnose Other folks and I by giving us the dog and pony show treatment! I have compressed nerves and this radiating into my shoulder plus I have a shoulder issue and it’s debilitating and depressing! I truly need help before its to late ‼️‼️
Thank you so much!. This shows why I have all the symptoms that I have. But so far none of the neurologist that I have seen, have mentioned a y of this. UCLA neurologist 6 of them and one neurosurgeon.
Wow I've been seeing my Dr for years now for severe migraines, neck pain and weird numbing feeling in my Brain when I move my neck a certain way, I did get whip lash years ago and have that forward neck due to computer work for years , it's causing me to spend 2 to 3 days a week in bed because of pain , I just get painkillers from them and am told to do exercises for my trapeze muscle, but everything you said makes sense and sound like exactly what's happening to me, thank you, now I will see if they could test me for this
Thank you for these neck videos. They are sure helpful. I hope I can be fixed someday.
Thank you !! I’m hoping this is going to help me xx
Very informative and well delivered, thank you.
Thanks for watching!
YES. Head pressure, double vision in right eye, brain fatigue, difficulty focusing through the 'brain fog'... purple rings under my eyes ... pressure amplified by a vaping habit. I just discovered the crick in my neck (sit in front of my computer 8+ hours a day) ... recently even had clear, thin fluid leak from my nose (?).. and I swear just straightening my neck in the last hour has led to almost immediate improvement, (eyesight). Can confirm that vaping isn't amplifying the problem with neck straight. Thought it was inflammation from a recent virus, ... treated with some degree of success with niacin flush, just got some arginine / carnitine in the mail, will use that to help clear/flush. ...now even considering a neck brace... man maybe you saved my life, I don't know if I ever would have figured it out on my own, (and doubt a doctor would. they're all evil pharma drug pushers, don't know jack shit,) ... I can't pay you, but maybe I can tell you: buy some physical gold to hide in your house. US economy is going down. try: jim rickards 'road to ruin', read immediately. seriously consider moving to europe in the next six months. anyways, good luck doc. ...I'm going to look around for neck-posture correction tips... sure would be nice to hear it from you. ...am I over-correcting?? anyways get some gold asap good luck doc !!!!!!!!!!!!!
Did you happen to find the cause?
@@mushroom262 HA..! well, actually, haven't had problems like that since. I think it might have been covid.
Oh man. Grass is always greener. Here in Europe. Almost Nobody can help this issue-
Look up CSF leak.
Do you have written (typed) transcripts of these videos? It would be of great help to me because I take notes of these videos and it is time consuming especially when I am in bad health! It would be greatly appreciated if you had them for each video and webinars!
Thank you in abundance doc
Thank you doctor 👍🏾❤️
This is wild. I’ve had an annoyance in my neck for some time and I didn’t really give it thought. Now I’m have really bad headaches and this insane brain fog that just won’t go away unless I’m sitting a certain way. The VA did CT scan and saw nothing but this might make sense. Now the issue would be trying to convince my Dr to look for this when I visit next. Or finding a specialist in north east PA. Thanks again guys, I’m glad to see I’m not just losing it 😅
same thing is happening to me, and i'm on the other side of the continent where no one seems to understand this! goodluck!
You would have to do an MRA and MRV with a contrast to get results. Neuro Interventional Radiologist is the one that can help you.
Ask for an AMERICAN DOCTOR to take care of you. I can't say not-American doctors are bad people, but the academic standards are lowered for them to become doctors while the best American hopefuls can afford is to become physician assistants. Same thing with nurses and nursing assistants. American assistants to Nigerian RN's. Just communicating with them is a linguistic nightmare but, hey, what do we need accountability for? Veterans have to take it out leave it. It amgers me!
@Sly Cooper head and neck both ideally.
Did you convince your doctor? Mine won't do proper testing and just does guesswork and looks at all the problems separately instead of holistically. I am dutch and considering visiting Dr Hauser in Florida soon.
I've had injections I've had two neck surgeries. I also did fall not that long ago maybe a year ago smashed my head into the floor I thought my whole head busted open. I've had a lot of trauma to the neck. Please continue to read I beg you...... I felt like the healthiest person ever even after that car accident in 2005 where I flew 100 ft out of window of a vehicle. One day I fell down to the ground on one knee and I got up and stretched in the next morning I woke up with pain in my neck I went and got it checked out and there was a small pea size lump. It's grown over the years I started experiencing a burning pinching stabbing every pain you could think of in my neck to the point where when I flares up by midday I feel like I'm going to lose my mind. It's like having dry socket in your neck. I'm begging you I want to know if I could start to go fund me but I need help I feel all alone nobody understands. Over the past years I do so much around the house but I can't hold a job because I can't sit too long. I used to get comfort when I stood up unfortunately after a visit with physical therapy where the woman yanked my neck really really hard and put her knee on my shoulder which I know isn't normal. I started having an numbness in my thoracic. I get very bad muscle spasms there. But the pain and my spine and my neck and the back of my head never ever ever goes away. I need to take care of my son He is one kidney and stage two kidney disease. I watched all your videos You seem like the only doctor who understands
This was very helpful and informative. I suffer from IIH and do experience brain fog and severe headache, but not all the time. I have only had this disease for a couple of months and nearly lost my sight. Trying to learn as much as possible. However, I received help from my hospital immediately when I started to have visual problems and my visual field is normal thankfully but letters still look a bit funny.
What help did you recieve?
I have been from Dr to Dr for the past 2years! Im in southern CA. What type of specialist do I need to look for? Would you advise against exercise due to the build up of pressure? Thank you so much for your video. Blessings to you.
I think my son has this. He’s always stood and sat like a vulture. His neck hurts, and today I asked him if he has swollen lymph nodes, and when I touched them, he said yes.
We have been thinking he has mold toxicity and two tick-borne infections that have been causing his horrible inter cranial pressure, but after he had Covid in January, it’s been awful. We have no idea what’s going on, and I’m beginning to think this is his problem, or part of it.
Thankyou for the video content your educational asset is helping the mankind...

Hi there this is a very good video . I have a major stenosis of my right internal jugular at the C1 level . I have many neurological symptoms but my doctors didn’t even spot this on my MRV . They seem to think that compression of this vein is nothing to worry about . I find this very strange . Surely drainage of the brain is extremely important?
Omg this is literally how I feel
Indeed, the Neck is the culprit for almost everything going wrong. I tremendously believe these guys are going to spot the malfunctioning with my bodies' proper functionality.
Hi would anyone know of a similar practice in Brisbane Australia. I have so many symptoms and have been to so many specialists . These guys really know what their stuff.
When is Dr. Hauser's new book "Joint Instability" coming out? This is another eye opener video!
Good question, Ronald. We are hoping later this year. Will definitely make an announcement at that time. Appreciate your interest. Take care.
@@CaringmedicalProlotherapy Sorry, can't wait that long, get it done now!!!!! (just kidding)
I sure wish I could come and see you. I needed help for so many years now. They want to do surgery on my neck and back one including a collapse of my lung.
Thank you I have been having severe problems in my head from a vaccine and now having to go thru many things to diagnose. Thank you so much for your information very appreciated. Stay well.
pfiezer?
@@Manwithaplan2345yes Pfizer caused these neck instability issues
Great video! I have a chronic obstruction of my internal jugular & trying to figure out treatment options. Does anyone know because it's looking BLEAK for me.
Love it👍👍. What about one (looks like) Epeleptic zeisure at night out of nohwere. Stiff neck and stress for a very long periode of time? January 21. only once. I lost my driving licence, my job, my inncome, my freedom and company. Lokking for an answer beside epilepsy. Could it be a connection between neck and upbuilding stress? Norway. ❤️
Wonderful videos. I just subscribed. Do you have any office in Massachusetts or Connecticut? Or any place that you can recommend me in this area? Thank you in advance
This describes me. No wonder I want to stay in bed 4 days a week. I feel like I'm not alive except for the nonstop headache, and the swelling in my skull
@@slycooper2950 nope
@@slycooper2950 sorry to hear that 😢
What about excessive tightness of omhyoid muscle? Chronic anterior neck clenching
Great video. Thankyou. As someonr with POTd swollen right neck lyphnode severe pressure in eyes, memory issues, neck locking up and seeing smoky floaters in eyes and autonomic dysfunction is worsening. Anyone in Australia Victoria that can help with this. Noone seems to know how to deal with cervical instability. Chiro and oesto isnt helping and neurologists trying to treat symptoms instead of root cause. Thankyou
Hi, love your videos! Would this be another reason why the SCM muscle is painful in between migraines? Would this extra pressure in the brain put increased pressure on the very large arachnoid cyst I was born with? Does CSF recycle daily through this type of cyst? Really wish y’all were in New England area! Thanks for what you do!🤯
Hi AD63, Thank you so much. :) C1 nerve has connection with SCM and often goes into spasm when there is irritation of the spinal accessory nerve or C1 nerve. In our experience, it's usually more of a C1 C2 instability issue and the cyst is not clinically significant. Wish you all the best in health and getting to the root of your migraines!
Can this be detected thru cervical MRI?
Had a surgery in 2015 and have been messed up since then. I had Tapia syndrome and since then been having bad headaches, worse in the AM. My SCM is swollen. You may have just helped me out a lot.
Try stretching on a medicine ball backwards, with your head tilted back, it helps me a lot.
I am having severe near stroke headaches currently and it helps me
@@righteousone8454 actually just figured out a week ago I’ve got Eagle syndrome. Of all the doctors I’ve seen, a dentist was the one to figure it out.
@@jacklinks6097 May I ask what we’re your symptoms I also feel swollen scm on left I also can’t sleep on my right side as it triggers dizziness, I also get rapid heartbeat upon standing
@@zakyvids6566 constant headaches that are worse in the AM. Dizziness and fatigue. My right ear always hurts. Trouble swallowing and the feeling or something in my throat. I haven’t had the appointment yet to know but it may be pushing on my carotid artery in certain positions.
@@zakyvids6566 I looked at your other comments. Angiogram should show compression but it may be positional. I’m not a doctor but it does sound vascular to me. Best of luck to you
Dr. Hauser , your explanations are so thorough. I am looking for a dr close to Northeast PA if possible. Does anyone know of a dr kind of close to this amazing dr’s caliber?
Im in Erie pa lol no one here knows anything
Where in NE Pa?? Within the last 6 months have decided needed to get all new Drs, as no one could help me. There is a dyautomia Dr in Sicklerville NJ. I am very happy with him. Dr Nicholas DePace. GL
hello doc ! are you familiar with depersonalization? Could it be related to a pinched vagus nerve? A lot of people are suffering!
I have to sit upright when i get this pressure and fullness. Ive just had 3d scans at my atlas is out ive just started AO sessions my first session that night had no pressure or wooshing but 2nd night its back is that a good sign? Going for 2nd session tonight.
Why I hear a turbulent sound when I stand up and when I lay down and turn my head side to side then I touch my neck then it goes aways
My mother suffers debilitating dizziness and nausea. She recently had the Eustachian tube procedure and her symptoms returned. I’m hopeful she will look into this information and get to the ‘root cause’. BTW stress tends to exacerbate the problem.
Update? I have dizziness everyday as well with right neck vein pain
@@beepboop9519 you got an update? My doctor thinks I'm crazy because I claim I'm tune with my body and know these problems (that are slowly making life unbearable and I feel like I'm dying) is due to stress. 😆
Do you have a recommendation for doctors in Illinois? Thanks
Can you do a video about subclavian vein/artery compression? A scan showed I have an aberrant subclavian artery. But also, when my right arm is raised the signals drop so it goes numb.
Hi The Racheal Edit, Thanks for the question. We discuss the the numb arm symptom more in this video: ruclips.net/video/JTfo06YeTOM/видео.html Hope it helps. Appreciate the suggestion on subclavian vein/artery compression. Our general approach would usually involve motion doppler exams to see what is specifically happening with the various movements and blood flow, along with a person's symptoms. We wish you all the best in health and finding someone who can help you connect the dots on your case and do some more detailed tests and devise an appropriate treatment plan. Take care.
Can long-term High cholesterol buildup compress arteries at the base of the skull . from the outside to slow down the blood flow to the brain?
Is the C1 compression cause extended jugular vein?

Anyone have any treatments for this ? Please ❤
I feel a weird feeling in my neck, it'd so hard to describe, I'm always dizzy, brain fog, out of body experience, head pressure, when I swallow its like a jerk in my neck. It didn't start until I had covid though, but I do have Renal Nutcracker Syndrome, I wonder if it's related? I hope you answer.
What doctor do I see for this? I have a forward neck. Reversed curve of 15 degrees
So what’s the treatment called
@caring medical can you do remote consultations?
Very very interesting. I have compression of the jugular vein on both sides. Can you get pulse-synchronized tinnitus from this?
Hi Severin Buchta, Thanks for sharing and sorry to hear that. Yes, tinnitus is a common symptom associated with cervical instability and IJV compression.
Want to go through the video fully
I'm having the same symptoms like more then 20 years and nothing has come good even takings anti depression drugs mri but nothing has worked
Hello would this also cause hearing loss in one ear
What kind of specialist are possibly knowledgeable about this typically ? For those of us in other states I'd like to know what to look for or ask to find a physician. Is there a directory for physicians within this realm of symptoms?
Could you tell me where in Canada I could see a Dr. Like yourself or clinic ?
Did you ever end up getting this looked into? I'm in Canada also
Do you know any good dr in orange county please let me know
Does this have effects on the heart as well I feel as though when I lay down the pressure in my heart evens out as well as the pressure of my head before I get back up
Have arthritis on neck, will like to see testimonies of people who had prolo or prp and had good results, symptoms they had, etc, before I make a decision, the ones I’ve seen are old, I know if I have good results I’ll be the first one to tell others so they can have some relief! Thanks
Hi Enid, Thanks for sharing. You may have already checked out our Patient Experiences playlist, but here is a link if you haven't: ruclips.net/video/PNwKz-ueUpg/видео.html There are other patients who have had PRP and Prolotherapy from around the world who discuss their experience as well on their own channels, and we hope you find the information and treatment information you're seeking. As with any medical treatment, we suggest contacting the provider's office to discuss your case first and make sure that they sound like a good fit and able to treat cases like yours. Ultimately, deciding if any treatment, regenerative or otherwise, is a good fit for your situation should be between you and your family (or anyone else who would be your support team while undergoing treatment) along with the provider who would be doing the treatment. Wish you all the best in healing!
What can people do at home if they suspect they might have this?
Could jugular vein compression/intracranial hypertension cause or be related to internal jugular bulb diverticulum (specifically on the left side)?
You don't mention bone spurs. I think I have jugular vein compression because i have bone spurs (found in x-rays) that compress the vein. I have tinnitus and dizziness when I look up. My blood pressure goes up and down.
Also what kind of insurance do you take in fort Myers office? Do you by any chance take Medicaid? Just thrown it out there 😭
Dr, how can I get the people here to understand what’s happening…I have intercrainal hypertension really bad, I’m very symptomatic with papilledema , n & v, deteriorating vision that fluctuates, 24/7 headache, I have degenerative cervical spine ++, I can hardly eat, pulsatilla tinnitus, and terrible fluctuating brain fog, I can feel the pressure and fluid ++, and others. I need help and struggling to find it!
Hey did you find a solution? Going through exact same thing.
I have IIh and just learned I have jugular compression
Thankyou for explanation. Dr do u have TeleHelth ?
I don't think I have CCI, but it turns out my transverse sinus is obstructed. It's horrible
What if it's due to anxiety,
I wanted to ask you if I could send to you my CDs of the neck brain spine, I do show Eagle Syndrom both styloid & I am also showing a Pineal Cyst Tumor that looks like 2 of them. I have a history of high pressure 500+ pseudo tumor cerebri given Prednosone 80mg helped but not now.
I feel they are missing compressions C1 or jugular Vagus nerve or Cotnoid if that is how it is spelled. I have Syncope/POTS etc meds never help only small doses of cortef 5mg or Allergy meds. I am presently far away in the UK thanks so very much I enjoy your videos I learnt so much from you
Dr. Hauser, I was just diagnosed at Mayo Clinic with FMD affecting just my carotid arteries. Now they think I have IIH Are these at all related?
A little off topic but I have a question regarding the superficial temporal artery: depending on the anatomy pic, sometimes it's located almost behind the mandibular condyles. Or at least, its position is very tight and the flow of the artery could be altered if there were any trouble with the jaw. It is the case ?
What about the styloid bone being over grown in diameter? Overly large from trauma in your younger years. I was cross checked very badly when i was younger playing sports. And couple years later i had all these issues start?
Please advise. Is an activator safe to use with Vegas nerve problems. I get upper cervicle adjustments with Nucca but also have an activator done. Is this safe? I seem to have so many ailments lately and Im pretty sure my Vegas nerve is compressed.
Hi sir I'm having lots of drowsiness can't stay awake blurry vision sinus drainage blockage memory problem when I'm sleep I'm okay after waking up only 2 hrs I fontion properly after that I started get dizziness and drowsiness I live at mauritius sir give me a sugession
I was diagnosed with IIH 2007. Put on diamox took them for two years stopped and was off them 10 years. I have whooshing in my right ear again went back to a and E was admitted got lumbar puncture again pressure was 30 they brought t down to 22. Back on diamox and feel like crap. I have a lump on the right side of my neck which when I press on it the whooshing stops. This has been an amazing video I thank God for you posting this. I feel better when I lay down. Should I inform my Neurologist about this. God bless
I don’t know if this has anything to do with it but I have intracranial hypertension from brain “toilet” aka cervical instability pressing on the jugulars and then the csf gets backed up.. I usually have bilateral swollen lymph nodes when it gets really backed up. I get adjusted, and they drain immediately
@Sly Cooper yeah! one that doesn’t do adjustments with lateral rotation (those rip ligaments sometimes). i went to a NUCCA chiro which basically means specializes in the upper cervical spine. worked for a couple months until i went back to work which involves a lot of lifting.. ligaments ripped more. just got prolo from dr hauser at caring medical and that worked better than anything just after 1 session
@Sly Cooper ct scan and digital motion x ray!
How or what do you say to your dr. to get them to run these tests? They just gave me a mri and said "you have icht" and wouldn't explain any further. I have all of these symptoms. My neck is curved the wrong way from being a hairdresser and learning forward. They just put me on diamox and that's it. But I want to fix the problem, not be on meds forever.
Do you take insurance?
I have EDS, cranial cervical instability, brain fluid leakage, POTS, venous insufficiency, autonomic system issues. Trying to watch these videos if there is a solution. I’m about ready to go on disability and loose my business and just about everything.
So many other symptoms I didn’t mention because I didn’t realize could be replayed or forgot. Headache, eye pressure, tinnitus, nausea,
I’m unaware of a specialist in Utah that does this level of testing. I had to go to Colorado for my Chiari check. Where are you located.

@@CaringmedicalProlotherapy I’m thinking about that. Need to watch some more videos. Are there treatments that can be done over a period of a few weeks if I were to stay in Florida, or is it more ongoing like a lot of my other treatments. I’m sure the videos will explain more. I get a bit overwhelmed by the medical technical stuff. You seem to be doing treatments that people here in Utah have not offered to me.
Anyone you can recommend in the Miami area? Everytime I stand up after sitting for awhile I have pressure on my entire head that feels like its going to explode.

Another great video Dr Hauser. Can this still wreak havoc with ijv compression from c1 and elongated styloids if a catheter venogram showed normal venous pressures and only 1mmhg gradient in the ijv’s in neutral? Would this be separate to csf disturbances?
Hi Natalie, Thank you for your kind feedback. Someone can have CSF interruption that is separate and not blocking venous flow. When the IJV is blocked, by definition, it blocks CSF, but it is not always the other way around.
@@CaringmedicalProlotherapy thank you for your response. So do you mean that the jugular obstruction could still be blocking csf flow without it effecting the venous pressures? Venoplasty did not help me (however the extrinsic compression was still present) it was just used as a diagnostic tool to see if it helped. In fact for 2 weeks my symptoms including facial dystonia, diziness, palpitations/fight flight, neck pressure, headaches etc became even more intolerable
Thank you so much for these videos. I had a mild concussion 3 years ago. Ever since then, I frequently have episodes of intense throbbing, tingling, and pressure in the left side of my head, typically accompanied by chest tightness, and feelings of panic and anxiety. There are a lot of things that will trigger these episodes which last hours to days. One thing that will trigger it, without fail, 100% of the time, is a hot bath, hot shower, or sauna. I've always assumed this implies a vascular issue, since hot baths and showers dilate blood vessels. I reached a dead end with my neurologist, who just called it "post concussive syndrome" and offered me medications. Does this sound like IJV compression could be a culprit, or is at least worth investigating? Cheers.
U have cervical Instability
Just go to Caring Medical Florida
@Felipe M. C. Conrado Hey, sorry I forgot to reply to this. No diagnosis yet, but as of two weeks ago I'm seeing a neurologist at Duke. This week I have an EEG and three MRIs. I'll let you know if they find anything of interest. Might give you a tree to bark up with your doc.
What else triggers these episodes for you, aside from hot showers?
@@scottk1525 any updates please
@Felipe M. C. Conrado same symptoms
If I turn my head to look over my shoulder for too long I get stars in my vision and feel light headed. Lots of cervical spine subluxation. Pulsatile tinnitus that comes with forward head positions. Large painful inflamed glands near my jaw joint. Lots of pressure in the forehead and ears. Does this align?
ENT and doctor say nothing is wrong. I get flashes of light in my vision with movement of my neck. I am sure this must be it.
God Bless you, I edumacated myself watching these videos on my condition.
Alcohol and kombucha are the only thing that helps me, and stretching/massage to the neck.
One thing that really helps is taking a medicine ball/stretch ball, and bending backwards on it, it helps the neck a lot!
I think I am suffering from internal jugular vein compression …
I feel very much pressure on my head and particularly in my forehead.i can’t sleep normally.when I go to bed and lay down .I feel heavy pressure on brain… I also feel pain on my left ear.please help me how to fix it. I am waiting for your replay
Same issue I hope someone answers as well. This experience has been draining.
So what is the fix Doc .... Just let down 5 mins... Please teach us!?! Are you near Atlanta???
Can you have IJVC symptoms without it necessarily having caused intracranial pressure?
This is a great question! Cervical spine instability can disrupt blood flow into the brain. Elevated intracranial pressure may be the underlining mechanisms of internal jugular vein‐induced brain structural and functional disorders.
We have a lot of research on our website regarding JVC, intracranial pressure and cervical instability.

Hi divinehelp Abhulimen, Thank you for sharing and glad that you are looking into whether there may be a structural cause in the neck that is the connection between the symptoms you're experiencing. In our experience, these are very common symptoms in the cases of upper cervical instability that we see here. The tests mentioned in the video we use to see the neck in motion and the effect it is having on blood flow, symptom exacerbation, nerve input, etc. If you want us to possibly help you here, we do treat patients who travel from Europe, and you are welcome to reach out to our team to discuss your case in more detail. We wish you the best in your search for a doctor who can do a proper evaluation for cervical instability and help you get relief from your symptoms. Wish you all the best in health!
Serious Question:
With Posterior Subluxation of C1/2, how can he IJVs be flattened?
Myself and another have pancaked IJVs, but both have Posterior C1/2 on one side. With low CXA as well.
As i look at it it doesn’t seem possible to be flattened.
Hi Robert, Good question. One of the reasons why we do like to have the CT venogram with 3D reconstruction in some cases, as there may be an elongated styloid like what is shown in the video. We try to figure out what is constricting the carotid sheath from the front or the back.
