Checking Your Pulse

Yeh, i'm constanty doing that...Now it's become a habit and
i do it even though I don't realise i'm doing it...And now my
wrist and neck hurts from constantly taking my pulse

I check my alll the time, its a daily habit. I was flippin through channels and fu**** seen Dr.G medical examnier and it was talkin about a brain anurysm and I watched it... Now im scared that I have one, but the one the guy died from was hereditary

Why do you guys check your pulse? A healthy heart can tolerate a rate of over two hundred beats a minute for days without damage. I doubt any of you are close to that. The heart's a lot stronger than you think.....It doesn't need you to make it beat, it knows what to do so just let it do what it does.

I guess for the same reason I look in the mirror to make sure I don't look pale. One time my daughter was haveing trouble breathing and her lips actualy turned blue. So now when I feel like I have trouble breathing I look in the mirror.

I check mine alot too, what concerns me is when it beat a few times then skipss and keeps doing that alot.

I've had skipped beats and palpitations since I was a kid. One doctor told me my heart was too strong. Don't worry about skipped beats and palpitations...........Everyone gets them from time to time.

True.

Right now im 84 beats per minute no skipps, but alot of times it does :(

When u get scared all of a sudden dopes it ever feel like your heart flops arou8nd inside your chest

Mines between 100 and 110 right now.. Mine is always high so I never bother checking it.. But I get those skips as well as palpatations.. My doctor checked me out and said they aren't harmful.. But it is weird when my heart feels like it wants to jump out of my chest...

Im glad im not alone in this, I constantly check my pulse rate, it has become a daily habit. I do it subconsiously aswell. My husband and friend have to tell me to stop, that will only make me sicker.... My normal rate is from 80-85, but since im on toprol treatment my heart rate has dropped even with anxiety at 70-77, when im at complete rest at home ready to sleep my bp is 90/62 or so and my rate is at 60, which is still catagorized as normal. But it truly is amazing at how anxiety can cause all these physical problems... The highest I have had it was 170bpm.

i have had those same problems i always feel like im gonna die. i constantly check my pulse to make sure im below 90 & even when im at 90 i freak but my husband tells me to calms down and i cant! i then get lightheaded and dizzy and freak even more. but if you were to hang with me you would notice i check my pulse like every 10 min every day! i have anxiety too so i worrryy alot!

my situation is a strange and I need some help. I am constantly checking my pulse on my wrists, but I do not know why because I do not even know how to calculate my pulse. i just am feeling the beat. I don't think it would be a problem but sometime I do it so often that, if I were to add up all the times I check it, I am sure I would figure out that I have wasted a whole lot of time. i don't know why i check my pulse so much. it seems like it is just a weird habit but i can't break it!
