A member asked:
I had ultra sound of neck. jugular vein is enlarged. is this problematic? what could be cause?

Not: Just enlarged vein is not a problem so long it does not have a clot in it. Also the flow pattern needs to be defined. If the flow is slow that could imply blockage somewhere else. Consult with your physician.
