The beating of the neck like a heartbeat is mainly caused by the beating of the carotid artery in the neck, which is a normal phenomenon and patients should not worry too much. However, in general, this carotid artery beating sensation is not particularly strong. If the patient feels the symptoms of carotid artery throbbing more obvious, it may be caused by the patient’s position change. It may also be due to heavy physical labor or strenuous exercise, which may cause the carotid artery to overfill and throb. These are normal conditions and patients should not worry too much. If the patient has a prolonged beating of the carotid artery, it is recommended that the patient go to the hospital for a relevant examination, which may be due to a narrowing of the carotid artery or thickening of the carotid artery wall. This is the time to actively treat the symptoms to avoid unnecessary complications that affect the blood supply to the brain of the patient.
