At My Examination With My Doctor She Asked Me If

at my examination with my doctor she asked me if I noticed the pulse in my neck or if anyone had mentioned it before. I told her no. She said it was pretty strong and ordered a echocardiogram. Should I be concerned. 47, female, over weight, moderate exercise. I have been reading about JVD and believe the jugular is checked by laying down, head a 45 degree angle. She noticed it when I was sitting upright.
