Do you see anything remarkable on my CT scans?

@CJsBattle Not a radiologist here but it seems to me that your left Hyoid bone might be touching/compressing/irritating one of your Carotid arteries as it lies in the Carotid bifurcation (where the Carotid artery separate into Internal Carotid & External Carotid). It is not very clear as the rendering you chose might be obscuring the clarity of the image. There were a number of cases similar to yours and I have written more details on those posting regarding this type of issues. One of them is here (Could this be vascular compression? - #7 by KoolDude). This is condition (Carotid artery entrapment by the hyoid bone) is linked to stroke as well so the earlier you attend to it the better. Do you feel pre-syncope (lightheadedness/blackout), Stroke like episodes when you turn your head? It would also be better if you can also post the frontal image so we can see the Hyoid bone clearly.

Cyan arrow points to where I believe the Hyoid Bone is touching one of your Carotid arteries.
