A member asked:
I sometimes have a fast pulsation in my neck near carotid artery, but it seems much faster than my actual pulse. is this normal?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Carotid Artery: You should see a Vascular Surgeon immediately to have your carotids evaluated. A swishing sound or large pulsation is sometimes heard when carotid artery disease is present. One of the most common causes of stroke is carotid stenosis.Your Vascular Surgeon can offer the latest technology and methods to address any potential arterial problems.
