Mildly visible pulse at clavicle when seated. should i be concerned?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
It is likely not anything to worry about, especially if you are not having any symptoms. If you are thin, you can sometimes see a pulse on the chest wall, especially in certain positions. It is likely due to a blood vessel that is close to the chest wall and sitting makes it more visible. If you are having symptoms, you can have it checked by your doctor or a cardiologist. Good luck!
