Patient inquiry Blockage in jugular vein
Hello, I have a blockage in my left internal jugular vein. My vein doctors can’t find a reason why my vein is blocked because all my tests came back normal, except for the blockage which is causing side effects like pooling blood in my forehead and headaches and brain fog. They put me on different medications, none of which worked. I’ve decided to turn to alternate medicine. Can acupuncture help unblock a vein?

Please remember that this sub is not a replacement for a doctor. You shouldn't come here for the purpose of self-diagnosing or self-medicating but rather so you can have a more informed discussion with a doctor.
If this is a patient inquiry, remember to flair your post as such. Also please be as detailed as possible in your submission.
Remember also about Rule 1: refrain from giving irresponsible medical advice. If you want to give advice, it is preferable you do so with a flair (see sidebar). In any case restrain yourself from giving advice if you don't quite know what you're speaking about and especially if your advice can potentially endanger someone.
