Is it normal to be able to feel a pulse in
the center of your neck,
just above where the breastbone (&
clavicals)end?
I think this area is known as the
suprasternal notch.
I read in another topic that this can be a
sign of aortic problems,
so it is worrying me and i'm only 16
(just).

It is unlikely that you have anything to
worry about.
But if you are not sure, always consult
your doctor.
If the doctor cannot find anything wrong
it could be anxiety.
Thanks for your reply, anyone else feel
this though if they put they're finger in
the center of the lower part of their
neck???

Hello, anyone? I'm going crazy worrying
about it!
It said in another topic this was normal
but I don't believe it...
Sometimes I can feel it sometimes I can't.

I dont think that this is anything to
worry about, I can feel my pulse in my
head and my neck all the time, without
even putting my finger on it and I have
been told that its stress and anxiety. Im
only 16. If you are still concerned, see
your doc.
