I'm back - surgery with Dr Axon

@Dontgiveup I feel your pain but this too will pass. Nothing stays the same. I know how it feels but you need to focus on how you can mitigate the pain and reduce the head pressure. There are number of good suggestions in this site to lessen the pain and manage ES. For example @TheDude posted a number of tips here (Small tricks to help Eagles with IJV compression - #4 by TheDude). I would also add one thing that I found important. If you take multivitamins, make sure to take less Vitamin A or no Vitamin A at all as too much Vitamin A is associated with increase of intercranial pressure (Raised Intracranial Pressure - Secondary to Vitamin Overdose). Sleep on wedge pillow. Do not lie down alot since lying down uses the Jugular Vein as draining which in your case is impaired. lie on an incline like sofa chair if you want to relax a bit. When upright, our collateral veins come to the rescue and do the draining. Do anything that lowers your stress level as well. Any relaxation technique would do.
