A member asked:
Left neck pulsate much more than right side so i did ultra of carotid andit was fine. should i drop this now? is it normal for one side pulsate more?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes: Drop it. There is a lot of asymmetry and variability in the right and left sides of the body. It is harmless.
