Eagle syndrome with IJV Compression.New member from Russia

Hi Ruslan & welcome! I’m glad that through being so persistent you’ve found the answers to your symptoms… I can relate to some, I had nerve pain from ES which was bearable with medication, but after I had a prolapsed disc C5-C6 the vascular symptoms started. I put it down to a slight shift in the vertebrae although doing lots of cycling at the time (which I think caused the disc problem) I think all the exercise probably didn’t help either…
It sounds as if you could have vagus nerve involvement too with the breathlessness, anxiety etc, that seems to be quite common.
Here’s a link to the info about common symptoms & possible explanations in case you’ve not seen it:

Will you have the styloids removed, or a C1 shave as well?
There’s lots of info about what to expect after surgery on here too:

Who is your doctor, where are you having surgery? And have you got a definite date? Wishing you all the best and hope it resolves your symptoms!
