Probably you're..: feeling the pulse in your carotid artery. This pulse can always be felt if you press your fingers over the right spot in your neck. Sometimes it's visible as well. Unless the person has a serious heart rhythm problem, it's always in sync with the heartbeat. Well, there's a slight delay, but most people can't detect that. In any case, it's reassuring to know that you have a pulse.
