A member asked:
I have a visible pulse in my neck on both sides while standing, but when i lie down the pulse on my right front side of neck is more prominent. is this normal?

No: It is not usual to have visible pulsing at the arteries in the neck. You need to consult your doctor to find out the reason (cardiac or vascular).

Yes: In many people the carotid arteries in the neck can be visualized pulsating while standing or laying. When laying down the position of the structures in our neck and body may change and that may be the reason for the difference you are noting between standing and laying. Without other issues, I believe this is normal for you. Have a good day
