Question

I've been noticing this weird thing where I can feel my pulse in my fingertips if I press them firmly on something hard. It's not all the time, and it doesn't hurt, but when I grip something and accidentally focus on it, I feel my heartbeatit's like a straight-up pulse. I've talked to a cardiologist and two neurologists about this. One suggested a color Doppler test without fully hearing me out, and the other said not to worry. It's just confusing because, like with a pulse oximeter reading from the finger, I wonder if this is normal. I've done all the heart tests, and they came back clear, but once my blood pressure shot up to 160118 due to stress from an injury. No other issues now, but it's still annoying, and I've consulted two GPs as well. Is this pulse sensation normal, or should I be concerned?

Question

I'm a bit concerned about my heart rate and blood pressure. My heart rate stays around 96 on average and jumps to 110 when I stand up. My blood pressure is usually around 13095. Should I be worried about these numbers, or is it something that could help with meditation?

Question

I'm a bit concerned because when I'm checking my pulse with a pulse oximeter, it's showing messages like "suspected short run of fast pulse" and "suspected occasional short pulse interval." Should I be worried about these readings?
