Relax first and anxiety shoots the BP up. Take your medication (If you are a hypertensive) and seek medical help immediately

I'm experiencing this kind of strong pounding pulse throughout my body. It's not really fast, just really strong. I can even see it in my neck when I look in the mirror and I feel it in my fingers and hands when I touch something. I also notice a visible pulse in my stomach and when I'm lying down, my head kind of bobs up and down with my pulse. Right now, even as I'm sitting in bed with my laptop, the pulse is shaking my laptop. This began shortly after I had some issues with anxiety and possible heart problems, but I've been to the hospital multiple times and they've ruled out any heart issues. It often gets triggered after heavy meals and this has been happening for about a year now. What could be causing this?

A really strong, pounding pulse all over your body, even visible in the neck and stomach, can be a concerning symptom. Since heart issues have been ruled out, this may be related to anxiety. To help manage this symptom, you can try taking Propranolol (Inderal) 10-20mg as needed to help reduce the pounding pulse and physical symptoms of anxiety. It is important to consult with your doctor before starting any new medication.
