Suggest Treatment For Flexing Of Surface Area On Neck
Question: I have recently a throb or flexing of the surface area on my left neck area. There is absolutely no pain, so I don't see this exact phenomenon in the available answers. The throbbing is intermittent. It can happen once, then stop for minutes, then go again. Then it doesn't do it for 12 hours, then starts again.
I have been monitored for cardiovascular matters by my physician and am in good shape at 70 yrs of age. Thank you for your consideration.

Brief Answer:
Doppler of neck region suggested.
Detailed Answer:
Hello,
Thanks for posting your query on HealthcareMagic.
Throbbing sensation on flexing the neck appears to be related to the blood vessels in the neck.
The symptoms mentioned by you are non-specific, however, I suggest you to get Doppler of the blood vessels in the neck to assess the carotids and other blood vessels in the neck.
Thanks and take care
