@1speechpick Since you complain about the right sided severe headache, I just wanted to bring your attention that Carotid (ICA or ECA) irritation or compression can actually manifest as one sided severe headache as shown below. Also, the lightheadedness you described as if you were about to pass out, is called _ **presyncope** _ that too can be caused by irritation of the either Carotid arteries (ICA or ECA). Even the pain you describe as radiating to the neck and Skull base is called _ **Sub-occipital** _ pain and can be related to Carotid. So I think it is possible that you have Carotid Variant of Vascular eagle syndrome NOT the Jugular Variant. It is also possible that you have Vagus Nerve irritation. Also, your left Hyoid horn could also contribute to this and needs to be tested dynamically to rule out any contact but since you have almost all of the symptoms on the right side, I would like to closely examine your right STYLOID to see if it is irritating your Carotid arteries. Can you please post more images of right Styloid. Axial would be better or even coronal images. > [@1speechpick](#): > > Along with the headaches, I have moderate - severe pain right side facial pain located in the following areas: right side base of tongue, under the right ear following under the jaw line a bit, and the pain radiates to the back of the upper neck (basically around the base of the skull) and up to the right temple and eye. I also have right sided upper chest pain (verified by extensive testing to be non-cardiac) that can also radiate into the shoulder, and also have the sensation there is something on the right side of my throat. My other symptoms include: lightheadedness, GI symptoms (diagnosed as mild gastroparesis). The right facial/throat pain basically feels like someone put a vice grip in that area. ![image](https://canada1.discourse-cdn.com/flex027/uploads/ben_eagle/original/2X/b/bc3f97a1b93c7635db044f24660c7834972a312f.png) This document is a good read about different variants of Eagle Syndrome. This is where I got the screenshot above.
