cardiac or vascular experts - enlarged internal jugular vein?

post #1 of 3
Thread Starter 
i know this is a long shot but does anyone know anything about an enlarged right internal jugular vein? i can only find info about when they're infected and i'm pretty sure it's not infected seeing as i've had it for at least 3 months with no fever. i'm supposed to see a vascular surgeon in a few weeks but i'm trying to get my primary doctor to bump up my appt. up earlier.

i spent a not so lovely evening in the ER last night for some chest pains. i brought my previous CT report so they see if my chest pain was related to my neck. everyone kept saying i had an aneurysm which is not something my doctor mentioned. according to the report is measures 2.8 x 2.1cm. has anyone ever dealt with something like this? how is it treated?

It has been almost a year since you posted your question. I hope you are still alive and doing well. I would like to hear the rest of your story. Recently I had a CT scan of my neck and chest done. Everything looked good and normal. The ENT specialist told me that I have an enlarged jugular vein like you have. Did you find an answer for your question?
