God I wish this is true
I will ask my GP about this tomorrow. I have a very rational fear that I might have a condition that has to do with problems with aorta like aneurysms (my other topic is about that). So I am of course very alarmed by this as this can be a sign of an aneurysm.
It makes me feel better if someone else has the same thing. God I am so scared out of my mind.

What you perceive as a rational concern is actually not. I just looked at another post you made and it comes across as completely irrational.

I can see the pulse in my neck, I can see the pulse in my 10 year old child's neck. When I was watching the tennis a few weeks ago I just so happened to see the pulse in one of the tennis players neck.

You are caught in an obsessive cycle of macro analysing physical 'symptoms' that are completely normal and further obsessively cross referencing them with closest fit health problems you can find on Google.

As long as you keep doing that, you WILL remain in a state of suffering and anxiety.

Can you see the pulse in the exact place I am describing? Sorry, I am just desperate for someone to tell me they have it too. I read that seeing pulse on the sides of the neck can be competely normal, but to see it in that notch above the center of the collar bone can be an alarming symptom. So I am very scared. And I didnt look for this symptom. I just looked at myself in the mirror for two seconds and noticed this.
I will be adressing my anxiety with my GP tomorrow. It has gotten so bad lately that I have put my heart in a state of constant stress, beating very fast, I can't seem to calm down for days. Thanks for trying to help, I really appreciate it.

It really doesn't matter what I can see or where I can see it. What matters is you checking normal bodily functions and interpreting them as cause for concern.

I would suggest that if you're worried about it, mention it in your next GP appointment, and then when they tell you it's nothing to worry about then try your best to let it go and learn the lesson for the next time you find something to worry about. We've all been there.

Apparently that is aortic puls that you shouldnt be able to feel or see...panicking so badly. Cant sleep, heart is racing im sweating, I feel like I am going to explode :(

So according to everything I have read online this is a major sign of an aneurysm. All the doctors that have been asked this question online have pointed at that. No other explanation given. They say you normally shouldnt feel a pulse in that spot. And I feel it so strongly :(
This is terrifying. Can someone please relate? Does it happen to any of you? I feel a very strong puls in that spot for the entire day. I am lying down and it feels even worse. I usually feel the pulse there and didnt know it was abnormal, until today when I realized I can even see it. It is that strong. In that spot I feel the pulse the strongest, although I can feel it on the side of the neck as well. How do I cope with this, this is so scary.
I also have to add that I sometimes have trouble swallowing and sometimes I feel a pressure on my esophagus, but I have acid reflux and probably GERD so I alwyas attributed it to that. I dont feel it all the time though

While going to work this morning I felt very sick suddenly, like my blood pressure dropped. I havent slept much, didnt eat anything, and I felt like I was going to faint. Or die. My vision went dark for a minute, and I felt cold sweat on my face and neck. Felt like I was dying.
I can constantly see this pulse above the collarbone. I kept looking at other peoples necks and theirs are not pulsing.
So how can this be normal? I even read that doctors specifically feel your pulse in that area when looking for signs of an aneurysm, FFS. That's it. At this point I am pretty much certain I have Marfan syndrome and an aneurysm, which is common in people with that disorder.
This is just too convenient to be a coincidence. Later today I am seeing my GP. I hope she sends me to get my heart checked ASAP. I don't want to die.

If your Doctor tells you it's nothing to worry about and completely normal, what will you do?
