I have been having a lot of hand twitching for the past 7 months. I visited a neurologist and they ordered an EMG. I was zapped and poked with a needle.
He said he wanted to be “thorough” and put the needle in a few areas that concerned me.
For example, he inserted the needle here on the front side of my neck near whatever is pulsating underneath.

He also inserted the needle here under my chin.

He continued and inserted the needle here (close to where they draw blood).

And here on the inside areas of my wrist.

I slightly bled in all the areas I was poked. My concern is why did he poke my neck and chin areas?
If you look here at the scab where he poked me with the needle, you can see my pulse is right in that area. Do I need to be concerned about him potentially hitting or nicking an artery, carotid, jugular?
Any advice would be appreciated since I was only expecting to get poked in my arms.
And here are my results. Does anyone know what this means?
