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 really worried about my dad. He had an angioplasty in June, and after that, he started having blood clots in his hand and thighs. The doctor thought it might be because of high dosage meds, so they reduced his mg, but now he's also been having blood coming from his mouth quite often. Can you help me figure out what might be going on?
The blood coming from your father's mouth could be due to a side effect of the medications he is taking. One common side effect of blood thinners, which are often prescribed after angioplasty to prevent blood clots, is bleeding. I would recommend consulting with the doctor again to discuss this new symptom. It is important to monitor his medication dosage and ensure it is appropriate for him. Additionally, the doctor may consider adjusting the dosage or switching to a different medication to help reduce the risk of bleeding from the mouth.

I'm noticing something strange and I'm a bit worried. My heart rate seems normal, but I've been feeling my whole body pulse with each heartbeat. I can even see my clothes moving around my chest, and if I'm holding something, it moves too. I especially notice it when I touch my abdomen or my neck. On top of that, I've been having some light chest pains every now and then. Could this be something to be concerned about? Any advice would be appreciated.

I'm a 19-year-old guy dealing with high blood pressure issues. My doctor suggested I take Bengreat 4 tablets, and I'm honestly a bit worried about my health. I'm also obese, weighing 105 kg, and I'm unsure if I should start taking these tablets. Could you give me some advice on whether it's safe or if there's anything else I should consider?
Bengreat 4 is a commonly prescribed medication for high blood pressure. It contains a combination of Amlodipine 5mg and Telmisartan 40mg. It is important to follow your doctor's advice and take the medication as prescribed. The usual dosage for Bengreat 4 is 1 tablet once daily. It is important to monitor your blood pressure regularly while taking this medication. Additionally, since you mentioned being obese, it is also important to work on lifestyle modifications such as a healthy diet and regular exercise to help manage your blood pressure.
