Hello,
It is normal to find visible pulse on the neck but if you are seeing the pulsations on the wrist and foot then it is usually visible in very thin and malnourished people or when there is an aneurysm in the vicinity of the pulse. Aneurysm means dilatation and it is ballooning of a portion of an artery due to weakness in the wall of the blood vessels. In this case, you need to consult a physician/ cardiologist and get a color Doppler of the vessels done.

It is very difficult to precisely confirm a diagnosis without examination and investigations and the answer is based on the medical information provided. For exact diagnosis, you are requested to consult your doctor. I sincerely hope that helps. Take care and please do keep me posted on how you are doing.
