Elevated Bed for those with jugular venous congestion

General
1

I’ve been sleeping with an elevated bed, but I’m still waking up every two hours with a throbbing headache, and feeling like my eyes and ears are going to burst. Severe pressure and headaches.

So I’ve elevated it more.

Could this create pots like symptoms? I’ve noticed my heart gets extremely low at night. And then races when I wake up throughout the day.

Could this be from the exaggerated bed? I know it sounds silly, but I have so many symptoms not knowing what is causing what. Thank you.

I couldn’t say for sure, I never found that and close to my surgery I was having to sleep in a recliner chair to get any sleep.
The vagus nerve is next to the IJV , so often when the IJV is compressed often the vagus nerve is affected as well, and this can cause POTS like symptoms?
