WEAK PULSE

I have a question about feeling a weak puls in the neck and wrist, i have done all tests like, holter test, echo, and the stress test. When i feel the weak beats i know that it is a sinus rhytim but it scares me, because i'm scared that my heart is not pumping enough blood through my body or that my heart suddenly can stop with pumping because off the weak beats. My question is. Is it really important that you pulse can feeling weak, should i be concerned about this ? Or is the way how strong your pulse is beating not important if it is regular, the weak beats are catched on a monitor and its not a arrythmia, but should i be concerned ?

Do you get any other symptoms? Dizzyness? Shortness of breath? If not, it means your heart is pumping fine

You heart pumps blood according to the need of the body. If you feel ok, that is a strong sign that your heart is doing his work just fine.

Also, measuring the force of your heart beat by feeling the pulse in your neck is highly subjective and is highly dependent on the amount of (fat) tissue) around the measuring spot.

If you have gone through several tests, and they all came out ok, there is really no need for concern.
