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?

I'm really worried because my mom recently had a heart attack and her LVEF is at 25. We have her on Zoryl twice a day to help with her diabetes, and we're planning on getting her blood sugar tested soon to see if it's working. But I'm really concerned about her NTproBNP levels being so high. Is this something that needs another medication to manage? Should I be really worried about the high NTproBNP levels, and does it pose a serious threat to her health right now? Any advice you could give would really help.
