Isolated left jugular engorgement
My left jugular vein periodically becomes engorged and extremely visible (think JVD but left side only). It occurs always when I lift my left arm above my head and my arm feels like it is falling asleep after enough time. A CTA of my chest showed nothing. There are certain days when it pops out more than others. I have been burping a lot, my resting heart rate is 45 but when I run even a little it goes up to the high 180s . I had Nuss procedure when 8yo and have multiple neck injuries.

Though it is benign, still get yourself examined by a cardiologist.
