Nikv Posted May 16, 2007 Share Posted May 16, 2007 I don't know if anyone else has had this, but each time I lay down, it seems to beat more, and it's reall irritating. Even standing up/sitting down or what ever, I can like, feel it..And when I turn my neck to the side and keep it there it feels really uncomfortable. Anyone had anything like this before?

AdzzzUK Posted May 16, 2007 Share Posted May 16, 2007 Mate, if you didn't have one, you'd be dead. You coming down with something? It could be a possibility? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nikv Posted May 16, 2007 Author Share Posted May 16, 2007 Mate, if you didn't have one, you'd be dead.You coming down with something? It could be a possibility? I know I'm meant to have one. It happened after I shouted really loud. I THINK. Not sure if that would be the cause but yeah. It's not uncomfortable all the time, but most of the time I can like feel it without touching it. Irritating. I'm not getting a cold or anything.. I've had it for about a week and a half now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AdzzzUK Posted May 16, 2007 Share Posted May 16, 2007 You've probably just pulled a muscle in your neck through shouting. Nothing to worry about, although if it carries on for another week or so I'd possibly get it checked out? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Because when I move my neck, it doesn't feel like it usually would. Also, the scream was new, so maybe I took the neck muscles by surprised and pulled one.

MrBear5587 Posted May 16, 2007 Share Posted May 16, 2007 I've had this before. No idea what caused it, but it went away after a day or so, and hasn't been back since. Just one of those things I guess. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hitman2000 Posted May 16, 2007 Share Posted May 16, 2007 Get it checked out could be a problem with your Carotid Artery. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nikv Posted May 16, 2007 Author Share Posted May 16, 2007 Get it checked out could be a problem with your Carotid Artery. Hmm. Any symptoms I could look out for incase it is a problem with this? I'm only 16. Am I still illegible of having something wrong with it. edit Carotid artery disease occurs when the major arteries in your neck become narrowed or blocked. These arteries, called the carotid arteries, supply your brain with blood. Your carotid arteries extend from your aorta in your chest to the brain inside your skull.You are more likely to develop carotid artery disease as you age. Only 1 percent of adults age 50 to 59 have significantly narrowed carotid arteries, but 10 percent of adults age 80 to 89 have this problem. Fortunately, you may be able to prevent or slow carotid artery disease. Quitting smoking is the most important change you can make to avoid this disease. Other ways to prevent carotid artery disease include: ? Exercising regularly ? Eating a healthy diet ? Maintaining a healthy weight I do all 3 of them things. (Apart from eating healthy) But yeah, I'm fit as. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andy2004 Posted May 16, 2007 Share Posted May 16, 2007 ive had this before , like the time i turned my head really fast and felt something snap , was really painful at the time , but it went away after a few days. Was definately a vain or a nerve. Shouldnt worry about it too much unless it is causing you serious discomfort then go see a doctor about it.

A snap? :o Mine isn't exactly painful, just feels uncomfortable when it's around. Sometimes I wouldn't even know it's there, like when I'm not thinking about it. It's there when I lay down though.

andy2004 Posted May 16, 2007 Share Posted May 16, 2007 yeah turned my head too quickly playing footy, and i felt a vain/nerve snap in my neck. Not sure what it was but at the time it was very very painful. But the pain subsided over a day or two. I think youve probably just strained a muscle/over exerted it. If it is still the same after the week see a doctor and get ti checked just incase :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gdodson Posted May 16, 2007 Share Posted May 16, 2007 Is it pulsing like a heartbeat? Or just a twitching muscle? Try eating some bananas (potassium). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have indoor soccer on fridays and soccer on sundays, I do a lot of screaming in that. Maybe I injured a muscle or something like you said. I'll let it rest for a week, if nothing is better i'll go see a doctor. Thanks for your help guys :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Laurë Veteran Posted May 16, 2007 Veteran Share Posted May 16, 2007 If your carotid artery was broken in some way you'd probably have had a stroke by now. Take it easy and go see the doctor if it doesn't sort itself out soon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
whYeNQue Posted May 16, 2007 Share Posted May 16, 2007 try stretching your neck in all directions and getting a massage... i'm sure something must have just moved around in there it will just need to be relaxed back into place. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dwarm Posted May 16, 2007 Share Posted May 16, 2007 I had this when I was about 15. It was so weird and actually scared me quite a bit. It would start doing it for no reason. If someone watched my neck, or I did in a mirror, it was possible to see it pulsing hard, like something living inside of me haha. So I went to the doctor and had to have an ECG. In the end, it turned out to be nothing serious and they said it was probably related to stress or something. It happened less frequently over time, and now the last time I remember was at least a year ago. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hum Posted May 16, 2007 Share Posted May 16, 2007 You could have high blood pressure or clogged arteries. Wouldn't hurt to visit a doctor. ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ferret Posted May 16, 2007 Share Posted May 16, 2007 Just give it another week or two, then go see your doctor. I can sometimes hear pulsing in my ear, not my neck ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hitman2000 Posted May 18, 2007 Share Posted May 18, 2007 Im going for the clogged cartoid artery theory, defiently get it checked out. Just cause your slim etc.. does not mean anything you could have excessive cholestrol production etc.. clogging up those arteries. Better safe then sorry or one day your gonna wake up with a stroke.

fpd Posted May 18, 2007 Share Posted May 18, 2007 Palpitations in the neck can be caused by a variety of things. As I'm only as yet a second year medical student I wouldn't be qualified to make any kind of diagnosis. Most palpitations are harmless, but some can be a sign of heart trouble, which could be fatal if left untreated. I would definitely see your doctor if this continues.
