    feel heart beating in fingers

    Hi I suffer from bad health anxiety and the past few evenings i have noticed that i can feel my heart beat in my fingers. I try and read before i go to sleep and i could feel the heart beat on the book. I try and keep fit and go to the gym 4 times a week but i am worried that it is something wrong with my heart. My heart wasnt beating fast just normal.
    Please help

    I hold onto the headboard railngs before I go to sleep and usually feel my pulse in my hands/fingers quite strongly!

    It's normal cuz I remember my dad mentioning he felt it in his hand one time and I remember him saying it cuz I'm obsessed with my heart lol. Think it's just a pulse point to be honest! x

    I get that all the time, mainly when I'm touching something, or if my hands is flat on a table.

    Just a thought but I had these symptoms very strongly when I was anaemic. Worth having your blood tested and see if upping your iron intake helps.

    Please any advice, do you think I would be silly going to the doctors?
    I am worried it is something worng with my heart.
    Or could it be anxiety?

    It's worth going to see your GP if this is causing you a lot of distress, he would be able to put your mind at rest a lot more than we can cuz we can only speculate and share our experiences with you. I don't think it's silly, our doctors are there to help. It would help to mention your anxiety to him too and see what options are available to you.

    It definatley could be anxiety making your pulse more obvious to you though, I've noticed all kinds of dodgy things since my anx, including pulse in my fingers. xx
