A member asked:

Strong pulse in neck and rapid heartbeat. is that ok?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Carotids: Your carotid arteries traverse the left and right side of your neck and the better you can feel them, the healthier it is, assuming your blood pressure is normal. Aneurysms are very rare. Rapid hb is a separate issue. Rates of up 100 (170 with peak exercise) may be normal.
