pulse/heartbeat all over my body.

[Amorosasrojas]

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?

Totally got the pounding pulse thing going and am convinced that when I relax, the symptoms are not nearly as noticeable. I don't mean that when I'm laying down, they're lessened...I simply mean when I ignore the seemingly strong pulse, It does seem to help the pulse relax. I agree with several posts stating that our minds are very influential and our bodies follow whatever our minds are focused on. Peace, or fear. I feel that when I am zeroed into my pulse and totally concentrating on it, I breath more shallow, less often, even causing my heart to beat harder with less O2 in my vascular system. Also, I love salt and am fully aware that sodium hardens arteries. My next step is to go on what physicians would call a low Na+ diet. Without seeking out a diagnosis, I would rather seek a healthier life-long habit of not eating for taste, but rather eating for nutrition. If my arteries are loosing their flexibility because of my careless eating habits (which I wouldn't classify as extreme but pretty normal compared to most people I know), I'd like to see if low acidic foods, more water, more greens, low fat, low Na+ could reintroduce the flexibility back to my vasculature. I believe the "normal" diet these days is a killer; super hard on our bodies in so many ways. Time will tell if I i'm right or wrong, but I will say this. Eating a healthier diet will give me one more thing to not worry about. :)

I've been going through something similar to this since October. The brain is a powerful thing. It is in your head and not in your head at the same time. It is in your head because it originates there but it is not in your because the "symptoms" actually exist. Anxiety and panic are incredibly power sensations, but you can fix it. Find a good CBT specialist and over time you will learn what is going on. Meds mask the "problem" not fix it. I'm not saying don;t get yourself checked out, but once you get the all clear move on to CBT and it will help I promise. The part that ***** is you have to think of all the possible outcomes and accept them. It's hard to do, but it helps. Fear is easily learned, but very hard to unlearn.


Hope this helps. I've been going through it since Oct. and it is hell. But know you are not alone and they is light at the end of the tunnel.

eating less before I go to bed also help some but not much.

So glad I am not alone.  I have a pulsing sensation that started in November 2014 after I had Vein procedure for varicose veins.  I think I have had this condition for a while but now it is not tolerable.  I constantly have a pulsing sensation all over my body specially my stomach.  My veins have gotten worse after spending $2K on vein procedures VCA.  I think it is the pressure of this pulsing that is causing this.  I have low blood, low pulse.  I am getting ear aches.  I can't sleep at night because my body pulses.  My legs go numb if I sit too long especially my right leg.  It gets worse with caffeine or sweets.  

I have been to many doctors also.  Had sonograms, blood tests.  they have given psychological drugs, stomach drugs.  Heart tests.  everything is normal except I do have gallbladder problems but I don't want to have it taken out and have worse problems or until I know what is causing the problems.

Some things that have helped:  Heating pad, melatonin at night, stretching.  I have tried advil which almost did nothing for me.

I am wondering if it is related to lymph system.
