[|Human|] Im hearing a heartbeat like sound and it seems to be coming from my neck.  When I lift my head so that my chin points towards the ceiling the sound seems to subside or sometimes stop.  What is going on, do I need to see a doctor, if yes what kind of doctor?
[|AI|]  Thanks for your question on Chat Doctor. I can understand your concern. No need to worry about this. This is normal thing. The sound you are hearing is from carotid artery. Since carotid artery is major artery, larger amount of blood flows through it. And hence you can hear some sound. No need to worry about this. But if you want to Sure about it then get done bilateral carotid Doppler to rule out any thrombosis because this can also cause sound. For this you need to consult cardiologist and radiologist. If this is normal then no need to worry. Hope I have solved your query. I will be happy to help you further. Wish you good health. Thanks.
