Terrified by pulse, alternating strong/weak...

[LaNae]

The last two days I've been feeling lightheaded, though not faint. I thought it was to do with me not eating enough, although my boyfriend says I am eating fine. He thought it was a cold as I have been waking up feeling like I have a cold, but the feeling fades as the day goes on.

However today I decided to check my pulse, expecting it would be fine and i could stop worrying. It was regular but not fine. I kept feeling it change from strong to weak. I thought my position had changed so kept changing position and making sure I didn't move, but yes- at first it starts off strong then gets weaker, and changes a little.

Terrified. Help.

Hi there

Your pulse will definately change if you are focusing on it. There are many reasons you could feel light-headed ie: tiredness, anxiety, stress.
By taking your pulse in the first place would indicate that you are concerned that you are ill which again would set your anx off.

I hope you feel better soon hun
