Can you see your pulse on each side of your neck? Is it normal for the pulse to be visible?

Yep. I actually told someone I could see my abdomen pulse one time and they freaked out, saying I should go to the hospital. Apparently this is a sign of abdominal bleeding in some people? If that was the case, I'd have been dead years ago!
