Question 1

is it possible to have twitching of the veins or arteries?

Accepted Answer

No: Arteries and veins don't twitch. Muscles twitch, but not blood vessels,

Question 2

sometimes it feels like my artery in my neck starts twitching and going crazy and then stops. is this possible? would that be considered a spasm?

Accepted Answer

Probably not: These are symptoms that could be potentially serious.  Yous should discuss these with your physician.  He/she will thotoughly evaluate you and let you know what's going on.

Question 3

i have had a bovine patch on my corotid artery surgery last year april now lately i will get crawling feelings on that side of my neck or twitching?

Accepted Answer

Bovine patch: Not sure what is causing that crawling feeling on the side of your neck, but I'm very sure your patch is not involved or causing it.

Question 4

i've hav a visible artery that forks out and runs down the middle of my forehead. lately its started twitching no pain. when touching it i can feel it?

Accepted Answer

Vein: Very likely is a vein and not an artery. If you could feel it pulsating in rhythm with your heart beat then is an artery. In any case I do not think it represents an issue. I am not certain of the significance  of the twitching you mention.  One good piece of information is the lack of  pain. It is always good to discuss this with your physician to evaluate if there is a need for further testing.

Question 5

i've had this twitching under my left pec it's not painful it's just like fluttering when i move a certain way. does it have anything to do with my heart or arteries?! i really hope not please help me. i don't want to die...

Accepted Answer

Twitching: under pec could be from lots of things including muscle strain, anxiety, or low magnesium.  Please see your doctor for peace of mind and diagnosis.  Fear of death and heart disease are at the bottom of a long list.  Your doc will help.  Peace and good health.

Question 6

i've had this twitching feeling under my left pec it's not painful or anything. i just hope it has nothing to do with my heart. usually comes after movement & its feel like its a lil off beat with my hr. is it anything to do with my arteries?!

Accepted Answer

Doesn't sound cardia: The association with movement &amp; lack of association with your heartbeat generally means that the pain isn't cardiac in origin. Besides, at 18, it would be HIGHLY unusual for you to have heart disease (congenital heart disease would've been picked up earlier). You probably have a pectoralis muscle strain from too much sports practice. But see a doctor to confirm. Or use HTap Prime.

Question 7

i am 19, under stress.  is it normal to get fast twitching, pulsing sensation between chin and the carotid artery?

Accepted Answer

Yes: Stress can mimic anything and may cause any symptoms.TrBIOFEEDBACK:  Avoid drugs for sleep, weight loss, nervousness, anxiety and wait gain. Usually try behavior modification, punctuality in sleeping, read a book and warm milk if u like. Avoid caffeine, drinking, TV in room. Do regular exercise and get busy with ur studies or work. Don’t dx yourself.

Question 8

i have a twitch in my neck, near my corodited artery. what can it be?

Accepted Answer

Probably......: If you are young....More than likely just a tic or spasm in your sternomastoid muscle just behind or over the carotid.  Have some one look at your neck and make sure it is not "pulsating".  If it is not, then probably nothing to worry about.

Question 9

have twitch in temporal area around artery for last couple of days, no pain, migraine or other discomfort whatsoever.  anything to be concerned about?

Accepted Answer

See your PCP: for examination and tests to rule out temporal arteritis. Initially the headache, migraine may be the only presenting symptom with the temporal and occipital regions being the most common locations. Tender spots or nodules may be present in the scalp, especially over inflamed arteries. Take care.

Question 10

having temple twitches in my left temple, it kind of feels like something is crawling under my skin, scared it is my pulse as there is an artery there?

Accepted Answer

Yes: A large artery close under the skin at the temple called the temporal artery. When you are anxious you can see and feel it pulsing with each heart beat.
