Hi
Welcome to HCM.
I have gone through your query.
A noticeable vein in the right side of your neck which is pulsating is enough to cause distress. It is commonly seen in thin built individuals with lesser subcutaneous fat- a fat is a cushion layer that is normally present beneath our skin and covers up all these superficial structures to give a smooth looking skin. A thinner layer of subcutaneous fat is not able to conceal your superficial veins properly which can be seen from outside.
Let me reassure you that it is just a normal variation and you need not be distressed. A painless visible pulsating vein is not a health problem.There is no major health concern with you as the investigation are also normal. Do not worry.
Hope this helps
Take care
