Thank you @tiniturtle. I didn't know you could sacrifice an entire vein, this is very new to me.

Hi @Stillsearching, how does one seal off the vein? Are we talking about an embolization or a coiling? Would this lead to other problems like higher intracranial pressure?

@Lane I am based in Singapore and unfortunately Atlasprofilax isn’t available here. Do you know where I can get such treatment in Asia?

I started hearing a hissing sound when I turn my neck to the right and to the left after a chiropractic neck adjustment, and with certain head rotations. My pulsatile hissing is light a punctured tire at certain head positions and with certain muscle contractions. Compression the carotid...

@Stillsearching Did your doctor propose a treatment plan? My neuro radiologist diagnosed that I have internal jugular vein stenosis, to be treated through medication.

Dear Dr Nagler, I have been experiencing high pitched humming with certain neck positions over the last 5 weeks. This arose immediately after a chiropractic neck adjustment. A neuro radiologist carried out a DSA on me and diagnosed me as having internal jugular vein stenosis. He tells me that...

Hi @Greg Sacramento Thank you so much for your kind advise, this is very much appreciated!

Hi @Tinniger My tinnitus is pulsatile and unilateral, which I got immediately after chiro neck manipulation. I hear a high pitch hiss (punctured tire) which spikes when I bend my neck in certain directions or contract certain muscles (all pointing towards the left side of my neck where the...

Hi @ThomasC What did you mean by "compressing your jaw"? Did you mean "compressing your jaw muscle"? I think the distinguishing points are as follows: 1. If you can make it quiet by on a muscle strongly contracting your jaw or neck muscle, AND pressing on the side of your neck (to suppress...

Thank you @Greg Sacramento. Would you have an idea why my neurosurgeon would talk about the more invasive DSA, rather than a CTA or MRA to detect any vascular problems? Should I push back or go for the lost aggressive approach?

Hi @Greg Sacramento - Thank you for your technical response. May I clarify your point on "vertebral artery trauma" as I'm not certain that I fully comprehend. I tried to read up on your posts on the subject but this didn't help my confusion. Are we talking about possible "dissection" (I...

Dear @Autumnwillows, sending you my positive vibes and love. If you find that your issue is partly attributable to anxiety or panic, do consider discussing with a doctor as to whether antidepressants that deal with anxiety might help to tide you through this rough patch. Once you get back on...

Hi @Chris Roberts May I clarify what you meant by "electricity in head"? Did you mean a "whooshing static hissing", or literally "electric zaps"? I too am experiencing the "whoosing" kind of tinnitus when I contract certain muscles, and this started immediately after a chiropractic neck...

Hi @Tinniger I just saw your response in your thread on how chiropractic manipulation might cause some vascular dissection leading to blood flow problems and pulsatile tinnitus. Hoping its some sort of fistula or the like (I think a dissection is much more serious and can lead to a stroke?). See...

Hi @Greg Sacramento @tiniturtle @oceanofsound26 @Jazzer @Michael Leigh @Kaelon I consulted with a neurosurgeon today, who asked me whether my tinnitus was pulsatile, which made me realize that my bothersome tinnitus had always been the pulsatile kind. This was why my research always felt...
