Is A Strong Pulse In The Neck A Cause Of Concern?
Question: Today I see my pulse beating strongly on the right side of my neck. Is this a symtom that needs attention?
Brief Answer:
NO. This does not need ant attention unless it happens all the times!
Detailed Answer:
Hi and thank you so much for this query.
I am so sorry to hear about this observation and all the inconveniences this has caused you. Our pulses are very evident around the neck region as they are close to the heart. However, because of thick tissue on the necks, we rarely observe this. What you observed must have been linked to extra attention paid and possible the head was in a position the made the blood vessels very prominent and easily visible. Unless this happens all the times, there is not reason o get worried and seek a doctor. Keep me updated if this happens again and we would make the decision on what next moves to do.
Also, as we grow older, the skin becomes thin and blood vessels are more visible than before. being an elder, this might be the simple changes that have let to this.
I hope this addresses your query fully. I wish you well. Thanks for using our services and feel free to ask for more information and clarifications if need be.
