Q: Strange Pulse?

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).

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.
