@EagleinSEA - I agree that your symptoms could point to IJV compression (which is obvious on your left IJV) & ICA/ECA compressions. I can’t remember if I sent you the link to our common symptoms & possible causes post which @Jules wrote, but it’s very helpful so here it is - > [@ES Information: Common Symptoms And Possible Explanations For Them](https://forum.livingwitheagle.org/t/es-information-common-symptoms-and-possible-explanations-for-them/1389): > > ES Information: Common Symptoms And Possible Explanations For Their Causes: Disclaimer: These answers to common questions were put together for new members to gain a head start in finding information about Eagle Syndrome; to give you confidence to discuss issues with your medical team and to encourage you to research issues further for yourselves. It was compiled by a volunteer Moderator, who does not claim to be a medical professional, merely an informed observer and patient! The sources used… Thank you for the additional images. What I noted in the posterior image is that your C1 vertebra is shifted to the left & a bit downward which may be the result of your neck injury 10 years ago. That has pushed the left transverse process of C1 into your left IJV. I can’t tell whether C1 or the styloid is the greater compressor, but because of that situation, it would be wise for you to see one of the vascular doctors on our Doctors List. You had mentioned Dr. Damrose or Dr. Hepworth, & either would be fine. Dr. Damrose seems to be a bit more picky about whom he takes on as a patient, but it would still be worthwhile getting his opinion. ![EagleinSEA.3](https://canada1.discourse-cdn.com/flex027/uploads/ben_eagle/original/2X/1/17c669ffba85a4bd921d7951888b4c491f78ab16.jpeg) I’m really glad you found this community, & we’ll be happy to support you however you need us going forward. ❤ --- _[View the full topic](https://forum.livingwitheagle.org/t/just-diagnosed-with-es-apr-2026-emotionally-spiraling-appreciate-thoughts-on-my-ct-scan/22941)._
