A member asked:
Why do i feel my pulse very strong in my neck? and my head shakes along with my heartbeat? specially at night when i go to bed

Carotid artery: Your carotid artery and, one on each side of your neck, supplies all the blood to your brain which can be up to 25% of your cardiac output. Therefore a very strong pulse is a good thing. It might be valuable to check your blood pressure to make sure it's not too high
