For a few days now I've been able to literally hear and feel my jugular vein pulsing and beating. I'm curious if this is normal, or I'm a freakazoid and just happen to have a very strong heartbeat and circulatory system. I'm just hoping it's not one of those "little known" symptoms post-op that should make you run out to the doctor asap. I'm still learning so much! Please let me know that this is either a)common, b)I'm a freakazoid, 3) I should see my doctor asap 4) stop reading into every little post on here and becoming a hypochondriac.

Thanks gang!

LOL, I would say it may be nothing but check with your doctor just to be on the safe side.

I agree, a call to the doc won't hurt

are you super hydrated. Drinking lots of fluid will increase your blood volume and can make your blood flow awesome! If you have had an active morning your blood pressure could be elevated and going strong. Call if it is just making you crazy.

I experienced that the first few days post op. It went away.
