Brief Answer: Right sided Heart failure. DO investigations. Detailed Answer: Hello, Welcome to XXXXXXX Thanks for your query. I have gone through your query and understand your concern. What you are describing seems to be elevated Jugular Venous Pressure. It is an Indirect measure of central venous pressure.
