What does visible neck vessel pulsations suggest?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Likely normal: People with a more lean body habitus had less tissue covering the vessels. As such, it can be normal to notice a pulsation in the neck. There are some conditions where pulsations can be abnormal (eg. Aortic insufficiency), but it is unlikely the case given your age.
