throbbing artery in palm of hand

[diana7364]

Hello, recently the artery in the base of my thumb is throbbing off and on throughout the day.  You can see the pulse bulging in and out and then it stops.  My hand also falls asleep during the night.  Is this something that needs to be checked out or will it go away in a few days?

and in my opinion yes it should be checked on by the doctor ..good luck
