A member asked:
Is there anything like venous insufficiency in the head, neck, or upper body?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Not really: Above heart, gravity helps return blood to heart and will not usually "back up" in head. See your pcp for history, exam and some basic labs. Could be anemia, hypothyroid, depression - several possibilities. Your doc can help you clarify. Be well.
