Hi,I am Dr. Andrew Rynne (Family Physician). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
Bursting feeling in neck, left shoulder, lasts a few seconds, goes away. Causes?
I get this sudden bursting feeling from time to time in the left side of my neck and I ve noticed it in my left shoulder as well. It ll hit outta nowhere and it s not to painful just a weird bursting feeling that lasts a few seconds and repeats a couple times in a row and then it goes away and I won t experiance it for another couple months.
I went through your description. From your description, as you said there is no pain, it seems that the weird sensation is due to the pulsation of blood in your arteries.
You must be aware that you heart pumps blood so as to reach every cell in your body. This exerts pressure in the arteries. If the arteries are somehow squeeze, even mildly, you can feel the pulsation beneth the skin. This is what is happening to you. Nothing to worry.
Hope this answers your query. Available for further clarifications. Good luck.
