I am new here & desperate - can this be the cause of my problems? CT scan included

As @Emerald says, often people have a more dominant IJV & a smaller (hypoplastic) one, so if it’s your dominant one it could explain why your symptoms are worse…you can usually see on the CT if one looks narrower (but without obvious compression). Dr Aghayev hopefully will be able to give you advice about a C1 shave.
I understand your concerns about a shunt, we’ve had a discussion about that recently, Merl, @Mod_support , has had many years of dealing with treatment for IIH…You can read this discussion if you’re interested:

I don’t know if it’s possible to do a dynamic venogram in the UK, or whether Dr Aghayev ever orders this…
