What Could Cause A Throbbing Pulse On Neck?

Discuss with doctor about side effects of Evamist.
Detailed Answer:
Hi,
Apart thyroid problems, other factors can cause the throbbing pulse in the center of your neck:
- menopause: hormonal changes during menopause are associated with suffocating symptoms and hot flushes. You are already taking Evamist, the use of which might be a cause to your problems
- carotic atherosclerosis: as you are reporting to be taking Simvastatin (a cholesterol lowering drug); atherosclerosic plaques of carotics (places on the neck) should be ruled out through Doppler ultrasound. Furthermore, the use of Evamist is associated with arterial emboli that should be further checked.
- upper GI problems: GERD/reflux for which you are taking Dexilant (a PPIs)
- esophageal issues
Until the tests results are in, I advise to:
- eat often, small portions and slowly
- sleep with 2 pillows (try to raise your head up from shoulders)
- follow a healthy lifestyle and diet regimen
- get further consultation with the doctor who advised Evamist and revise with him/her about the side effects are mentioned earlier.
All the best!
