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?

hypochondriacs? Not so much. It's so easy to judge or minimize someone elses problems when you've never experienced it. I've had this happen since i was 11-12 years old and still occasionally (i'm almost 25). When they happen I just have to go to sleep and hope its gone when i wake up. I've had several happen in my teenage years that went on all through the night to where it was still going on when i woke up the next morning. My doctor has told me IF (she knows its a big IF) it happens during office hours to come in so she can put me on an EKG machine for tests. .

Same thing happened to me immediately after a bout with food poisoning or a stomach virus (not sure which.)  I could feel my pulse banging against my eyelid when lying down.  But the thing that got my attention in the first place was a whooshing noise which I thought was a ceiling fan, a clock, or a wind turbine on the roof.  I could not pinpoint the noise anywhere in the house although I could hear it clearly in the bedroom and adjoining bath.  I checked everything in those two areas, and went outside but could not find the cause.  At last I lay back down and that's when I additionally discovered my pulse pounding in my eye lid.  I realized the noise was coming from my chest as it coincided with the pulse at my wrist.  I had my wife listen to my chest and she confirmed the sound was coming from my heart although she could not hear it otherwise.  The doc told me I had a heart murmur due to a leaky valve a couple of years ago.  Guess it is getting worse...

I forgot to mention that I have pulsating around my ribs as well.  Any thoughts?

Have you found an answer?  Please let us know.

Are you male?  I am 45 and female.  Do you have pulsating in the abdomen and pelvis?  I wonder if mine could be an aortic aneurism.

Have you gotten better?  Did you have pulsating in the pelvis,  too?
