I can’t look down either… and keep my head turned slightly or more to the right. Have you figured out what is the cause of problems when looking down? I mentioned that to Dr. Costantino last week and he said he couldn’t relate it to any IJV (Eagles?) issue…
@Leah - symptoms that flare w/ particular head positions can also be nerve related & are not always vascular in origin.
I hope Dr. Costantino is able to decipher the evidence & pinpoint what’s going on for you so he can help you.

When I look down my styloid processes completely compress the internal jugulars into the C1 process, causing the intracranial pressure to increase and all the associated problems. I also think there’s some pressure on my carotid that gets worse.
I’m not saying that is what is causing yours, but whenever you turn or move your head those styloids can compress various structures, vascular or nerve
