> [@Symptom list](https://forum.livingwitheagle.org/t/symptom-list/4696/112): > > Hi @Swoo, It sounds like your IJ compression may be causing changes in your intracranial pressure, typically high. This fits with the positional symptoms you have mentioned. Intracranial HYPERtension is usually accompanied by a headache on the top of your head, eye pressure and ear pressure when lying down. Intracranial HYPOtension would be paid at the back/base of your head and typically improves with lying down. It would be prudent to have someone evaluate you for papilledema if you have sign… Here’s the link to where JB posted the research paper. It quotes an average of 2.9mm gap between the SP & C1 lateral process in those patients with Intracranial Hypertension related to ES, vs an average of 9.9mm in a person without ES. So if yours are 5mm & 6mm, they’re a smaller gap than the average person, although not quite as narrowed as those in the research paper, but could account for the slight flattening of the jugular veins, & some vascular symptoms. Might be worth taking a copy of the paper with you? If the doctor is hesitant, maybe you could ask about testing to measure your Intracranial pressure as you have symptoms of Intracranial Hypertension? Hope this helps a bit… --- _[View the full topic](https://forum.livingwitheagle.org/t/hope-again/4893)._
