A member asked:

What may cause the feeling of a pounding heartbeat on one or both sides of neck with lightheadedness?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Arrthymia: The carotid arteries on each side of the neck are the ones that throb with a rapid heart beat. Your dizziness with it is concerning. It may be a hot flash if you are perimenopausal, but i would call the doctor anyhow to check into any possible cardia problem.
