Pulsating Throat

I have been experiencing a very strange sensation for several months now...the front/base of my neck (thyroid??) is constantly pulsating and feels raw, not sore when I have a cold, its a soreness at the base of my throat.  I have dizzy spells, weight gain, bloating, tingling in hands and feet, chronic muscle pain, and at age 13 (I am not 28) was diagnosed with JRA.  

I am most concern with what the pulsating of my throat.  Any ideas what this is caused from???

I have the exact same symptoms that you are describing. Is the soreness at the base of the throat like you have a pulled muscle or swallowed something that was to large for your throat and it becomes just plain sore.  Having JRA you are at a greater risk for other auto-immune such as Thyroid. I'm not in the medical field but I do have a son  with type 1 diabetes and after a year of that diagnoses he developed Hashimoto.

I wish you luck on your journey. Sorry I'm not a lot of help

It may also be caused by problem with blood vessel in the neck or chest;the blood test and neck image w/contrast is good first step,
