I noticed it almost one month ago. It is visible directly below my jaw on the left side during rest. And there is no recent weight loss.

Hello,

This visible throb does not usually signify any disease process like aneurysm and can be unassociated with any disease process. Though a palpation by your physician and a colored doppler study may be contemplated to be sure that everything is normal. In all likelihood this is not worrisome.

Please feel free for your follow up questions.
