I’m sure I’m remembering the discussion about cognitive effects right, but can’t find anything…The following links do mention jugular compression, and mention memory issues because of this, they might be helpful:
Cerebral Venous-Associated Brain Damage May Lead to Anxiety and Depression - General / Research Papers - Living with Eagle
Styloidogenic-cervical spondylotic internal jugular venous compression, a vascular disease related to several clinical neurological manifestations: diagnosis and treatment-a comprehensive literature review - PubMed

We usually suggest that members print off a research paper or 2 which mention symptoms similar to your own, and take them with you to appointments, plus focus on the more well known symptoms at appointments. If you did get a referral to Mr Axon mention pulsatile tinnitus as that’s something he’s researched & is interested in! Are you waiting to be seen at Peterboro’, or are you waiting for a follow-up? Just wonder if your GP is reluctant to send you there & to Addenbrooks if you cancel the Peterboro’ referral?
It’s so frustrating for all of us to be fobbed off, but even more so when you’re a fellow medical professional!
