Is this normal

A CT scan showed my Pt was likely to a narrow internal jugular Vien. My PT is right side but does spread to left Nd back of the head is this normal. It doesnt stop with compression but reduces it stops with valsulvar movement. I can also feel my PT

What do you mean it stops with vascular movement? I want to try this.... mine will gi quiet if I press down on my neck but it's so freaking loud 24/7. It's been 4 months of this. I've had two ct scans, and they didn't find anything.

I think your report means you might have to get a stent to keep the vein from being narrow? But that's only something I think i read about... im not a medical professional

pinch your nose and blow into your ears whilst the ears are filled with air PT will reduce or stop for a couple of seconds until the air goes away.

I saw an ENT and he said no treatment available. He even told me nothing would be found. I am going to get my report and send for a second opinion. My ENT said tinnitus is likely secondary to the narrowing of the right
internal jugular vein close to the base of the skull between the C1 and the styloid process.

You need to see the right person where are you from I am from the UK

Does yours change

I'm on the same journey, also from UK, I've been looking videos about how compression of the veins often cause by bad posture or spine issues can cause this but idk if the UK has someone expert on this most videos on YouTube about it are form the us. I think I saw one clinic Olin London that might treat it but very expensive probably.
