I've been noticing this weird thing where I can feel my pulse in my fingertips if I press them firmly on something hard. It's not all the time, and it doesn't hurt, but when I grip something and accidentally focus on it, I feel my heartbeatit's like a straight-up pulse. I've talked to a cardiologist and two neurologists about this. One suggested a color Doppler test without fully hearing me out, and the other said not to worry. It's just confusing because, like with a pulse oximeter reading from the finger, I wonder if this is normal. I've done all the heart tests, and they came back clear, but once my blood pressure shot up to 160118 due to stress from an injury. No other issues now, but it's still annoying, and I've consulted two GPs as well. Is this pulse sensation normal, or should I be concerned?

View allI'm kinda confused about my blood pressure readings and I'm wondering if I should be worried. My BP is currently 110 over 90is that normal? Sometimes it's 126 over 96, and other times it's 115 over 85. Today it's 110 over 90. Should I be concerned, or is this within a normal range?
Your BP readings are slightly on the higher side of normal, especially the diastolic (90+). Occasional variations can happen, but consistently elevated readings (above 12080) could indicate prehypertension. Monitor it regularly, reduce stress, eat healthy, and consult a doctor if it stays high.
