Can you feel a blocked artery in your neck?

Not typically: Arteries with plaque build-up and blockage are not typically able to picked up or discovered just by feeling the artery. Oftentimes an artery can be blocked and still have a pulse. An ultrasound is often the least invasive and most cost-effective way to detect blockage in the neck arteries.
