pulse/heartbeat all over my body.

by Amorosasrojas, Jun 06, 2007 12:00AM
Lately, I have noticed that when I go to sleep, I can feel my pulse in strange places, such as fingers, legs, stomach...and lately, all over at the same time.
Any idea of what this is?

It is normal and mostly psychological.  If anyone concentrates enough, they will be able to feel their heart beat all over their body.  This is particularly the case when you are going to sleep because everything is quiet, you are lying still and there are no distractions.  I am constantly aware of my heart beat because I think about it.  When I am distracted by something I do not notice.  My girlfriend thinks I am crazy but yesterday I had a very good talk with her and asked her if she could feel hers. She immediately said no but then sat still and concentrated and all of a sudden she could feel it in her neck and chest.  We think too much about it!!!

This is not psychological!  When I lay on my bed I can feel my heartbeat all over my body.  It makes my body "twitch" for lack of a better term.  I can actually make my bed MOVE slightly back and forth when lying on it.  I've been tested for high blood pressure multiple times and almost always have a normal reading.

I have other symptoms.  It feels like my body is a big balloon that is over-filled and about ready to burst.  I have constant slight pressure in my head.  I have major joint problems.  I'm tired all the time.

My family doctors seem to ignore any symptoms I have.  I'm very frustrated that I cannot find help.  That's why I've been searching the internet for some answers.
