Pulsing at night: Not sure if you mean feel or hear a pulse? If you have been a smoker or had high cholesterol or BP then ask your doctor to listen to your neck for a bruit in one of the blood vessels in your right neck area caused by atherosclerosis. Find out if anyone in your family had every had fibromuscular dysplasia of any arteries. Discuss with your team.
