throbbing throughout the body
by bigdizzle, Feb 19, 2006 12:00AM
Hello recently im able to feel my heart beat or a throbbing feeling without pain in my cheeks,head,arms,hands,chest, and legs.But moslty my cheeks, it doesn't hurt or anything just very annoying.I recently got a number of test done cbc,lipid panel,elecktroylite, and my blood pressure taking which were all good.I didnt get alot of sleep before this started to happen but now i barely get any which I think is making it worse.I am aslo congested in the face and got medicine to solve the problem but that didn't work. Could that be causing the pulsing in the face?

These symptoms are not in our area of expertise (neurology and neurosurgery) and the symptoms do nto suggest a problem with the nerves.
Its possible that there is a local sinus infection or other local nidus of inflammation in the facial area that is causing the facial symptoms. Its also possible that a systemic condition such as an overactive thyroid gland could cause the symptoms. Also, there may be a problem with heart rhythm itseld - this could be checked out by your doctors.
Good luck

The most frequently involved drugs are antibiotics because they are the most prescribed.
I am an otherwise healthy 34 yo...normal stress test, MRI brain and inner auditory canal, normal MRI C-spine, normal blood work, but under a lot of stress. If I were 100% certain that this were all related to anxiety, I could "relax" a bit. I am still somewhat concerned that there is more going on; thus, the workup continues.
Your symptoms sound like mine, especially the legs going out from under you part...I keep telling doctors that I feel like I'm going to pass out but never do and I'm pretty sure I never will. They call that near syncape but because I am so sure I'm not going to fall over, I don't think that is the right thing to call it. Sometimes at night, I get that pounding in my head and it's totally painless but it is still freaky. I still don't buy into that anxiety thing...I think that is just what doctors say when they don't know what the heck else it could be. I don't think there is any way to be 100 percent sure that anxiety is the culprit....what doctor would give that diagnosis? That underlying feeling that something is wrong is always going to be there until you don't feel like something is wrong anymore...
