Jugular vein compression or internal jugular vein stenosis leads to decreased blood flow through the jugular veins. Jugular veins are a pair of veins that carry deoxygenated blood from the brain, neck, and parts of the face back to the heart. When the vein is compressed by the surrounding structures lying next to it, the blood flow gets obstructed leading to symptoms like headache, neck pain, partial memory loss, hearing issues, and more.
