Hello doctor, I have a question thats been bothering me for quite a while. I exercise often, but during exercise and for a while after its hard for me to find my pulse on my wrist or neck, is this normal and caused simply by the highest blood flow or something like that? I have to go to the gym tomorrow and this just bothers me. Thank you in advance.
Hi Heather is nothing wrong with you just stop searching for your pulse, sometimes it's a matter of practice to localize the pulse. However, when we exercise the muscles swell up due to increased workload as well as due to increased amount of blood flowing through them due to which sometimes pulse cannot be felt. Just continue with your work-out and stop bothering about it till you don't feel any discomfort. Good Luck
