What Could Recurring Thumping In Lower Neck With Dizziness Indicate?

I am experiencing a thumping sensation in the lower front of my neck. I feel dizzy when this happens. It lasts for about a minute. This has been going on for the past few weeks. It feels like my head is going to explode. I thought maybe it could be my thyroid or something.
