You know you're supposed to feel your pulse there? :P It's normal.

Relax. Is worrying helping you? Again, nope!

Distract yourself. Do something else than sitting and focusing on things like this.

The carotid arteries run either side of the throat, perfectly normal.

No definitely nothing to worry about, when you have palpitations the pulse will be stronger, just the same as if you were to take your pulse during a panic attack.

You can normally see the pulse in the neck if you look carefully when it's stretched to one side even in the calmest of people.

This is the main blood supply to the brain so the worry would only be warranted if there was no pulse :)
