I have a pounding, visible pulse in my neck, days after practising partial. are my arteries fked?

[takeru445]

Its possible but I don't remember this being here before i attempted it. I'm looking in the mirror right now and I can literally see my neck move on every pulse. It feels really strong when i place my finger on it. I dont really care that much because I dont plan to live to a ripe old age but is this a common occurrence?

That's normal I think. I often see that.

No.

You're simply over analyzing something you never bothered to look at before.

I did years of jiu jitsu without seeing any serious injury and you get your neck wrenched on every session. People get choked out, it's not really a big deal, it's rarely dangerous unless someone holds on for WAY TOO LONG after the opponent is limp (this doesn't happen).

I don't see how any serious injury could happen with partial unless you pass out. The danger arises if you pass out and somehow wake up minutes later through being found, a faulty setup, etc. that's where brain injury can occur.
