A member asked:

Is it normal to have throbbing or pulseating in the neck the throat area above the chest bone near the adams apple?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Could be: Sometimes a blood vessel in that area becomes engorged and results in visible pulsing. Thyroid gland is in this area. It could be a result of increases blood glow to the gland. If having other symptoms, consider having your primary doctor evaluate you
