    Quiet pulse and loud pulse

    Hi

    Over the last few days I’ve noticed that sometimes my pulse can feel very hard (when I check it on my wrist) and other times it is very soft and I struggle to find it.

    Both types happen when I’m at rest. This resulted in a mini panic attack last night when I’d been dozing and was woken by a loud noise and then when I tried to check my pulse I couldn’t feel anything for a while.

    Am I the only one or does anyone else have this, I would be interested to know!!!

    Many thanks

    Chris

    Hi Chris
    I went through a stage where I was constantly checking my pulse - sometimes it was strong and sometimes impossible to find. Sometimes it seemed to disappear when I was in the middle of counting or jump around - fast to slow. I'm sure a lot of it was all in my mind. I had to really force myself to stop checking it and I don'yt worry about it now.
    Try and stop checking your pulse beacuse your heart is strong and doing its job well so there isn't a problem with your pulse
    Love Helen

    Thanks everyone for the comments, it is always nice to know I'm not alone which is the wonderful thing about this website.

    to Helen, I can identify with doing all of these and must try and stop, although have been experiencing a few chest jumps tonight and have been holding wrist to see if they match them. AAGGHHH!!!!!!!
