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?

-It's generally normal to feel a pulse in your fingertips, especially if you press down on a hard surface or grip something tightly. The pulse you're feeling is likely just the natural blood flow, similar to what a pulse oximeter detects. Since you've had

I'm really concerned about my wife's health. Last night, her resting heart rate on the wrist was showing 5257 while she was sleeping. This morning, I checked her blood pressure with our digital home monitor and it was 95 over 86, with a heart rate of 65. Are these numbers too low, and could something be wrong? Also, how reliable is a home BP monitor for checking these things?
A resting heart rate of 52-57 beats per minute is considered normal for some individuals, especially athletes or those who are physically fit. A blood pressure reading of 9586 mmHg is slightly lower than the normal range, but if your wife is not experiencing any symptoms such as dizziness, lightheadedness, or fainting, it may not be a cause for concern. The heart rate of 65 beats per minute is also within the normal range. Home blood pressure monitors can be reliable if used correctly. Make sure to follow the instructions provided with the device, such as positioning the cuff at heart level and ensuring it is the right size for your wife's arm. If your wife is otherwise healthy and not experiencing any symptoms, these readings may not be alarming. However, it is always a good idea to consult with a healthcare professional for a proper evaluation and personalized advice based on her medical history and overall health status.

I'm feeling really overwhelmed and unsure what's going on with my health. Whenever I do even a little bit of work, I start feeling pain all over my body and feel really weak. My heart beats really fast, like once it was 165 bpm and then it came down to 115 bpm after 10 minutes. I've been told I have high blood pressure and cholesterol, but my ECG, TMT, and echo tests all came back normal. The ECG did show some changes in areas called Avf, but they've been like that for 9 years. On top of that, I've been dealing with severe anxiety and OCD for about 12 years now. I'm really worried if this might be a heart problem or if it's all just because of my anxiety. Every time I try to do any work, the weakness and palpitations hit me, along with a full body ache. I really need some advice on what's happening.
