Really strong pulse?

Has anyone tried beta blocker for this?

Have anyone tried any anxiety medication for this? I have read some posts on reddit describing the same bounding pulse and that it went away after starting to take Valium. I wish not to take any antidepressants but if that is what it takes than it leaves me with no choice. I have had this bounding pulse problem for over a year now and I am just so fed up with it. Because I am doing completely fine both mentally and physically and have no other symptoms than this bounding pulse felt on my temples and other places.

As per my post above (ej125) I haven't been able to get to the bottom of it. I have had something like this for 3 years and duloxetine has helped quite a bit. although I'm still not back to normal by any stretch. Mine are also with an internal tremor (whitch is so strong at times my teeth shatter) it's made worse the day and days after alcohol. I'm about to start 'autogenic' training on the NHS so will see how that goes, but I do see my problem as physical as my anxiety is now almost non existent but the pain keeps going or gets worse...

For me, my pulse is stronger only after eating. Today my doctor said that I will have next month a surgery for my hiatal hernia. I think that my hiatal hernia caused my heart problems. I don’t think that a normal person can suffer with heart problems only because of anxiety.

I also have a very strong pulse; when I lie down my tummy strongly pulses up and down and also have a trong heart beat when I sit up quickly etc...

I had an echo and ecg done and all came back clear. Just turned 16 and although it might seem worrying to you, if everything has come back clear then I'm sure there isn't anything to worry about.

I also find myself trembling, more so on the left side of my body; that I am pretty worried about. I hope its just an essential tremor. Does anyone else have shaky hands??

Just came across this post in my search. I have had a pretty severe case of pulsations and internal tremors going on for 4 months. So bad at night that I cannot sleep laying down, I have moved a recliner chair into my bedroom. My neck and throat are so sore from the strong pulse that it makes it difficult to swallow now. I now have asthma and Gerd, bad acid reflux as well as hyper salivary glands and insomnia because I fear laying down. It is worse when laying down I now feel I am being strangled and my breathing is very laboured but I can usually feel it most of the time now with no breaks and my body feels completely drained. When it is really bad it makes be feel super agitated, it raises the hair on the top of my head. I have had quite a bit of testing from expats to ultrasound and ecg...nothing. I'm in to see a heart specialist next week, but it really makes me worry that my body can't take much more. I have discussed taking anti anxiety with my gp, even though neither of us feel it is brought on by stress, but stress on the body can react even though you feel calm. I had pneumonia probably due to covid in mid March, just didn't get tested as there were none then. This started shortly after. I also had a minor surgery in mid June so I have held off but will start lorazepam tonight. I am a 55 year old female in Canada and have been fairly healthy. This has wreaked havoc on my quality of life. I'm hoping someone else on here has figured this out. Thought I would also mention as some other have that I am on an acid reducer as it seem to be a trigger. Not sure if anyone else also had breathing issues with this like struggling to catch your breath or like your stopping breathing. I strongly feel my breathing is a strong trigger in setting my body off into anxiety mode, hence the reason I can't lay down. It first started that I couldn't lay on my right side. I hoping the few of us on here can help each other get through this and figure it out.

Hi, sorry to reopen this thread but did anyone find a solution or see their problem go away. I have had visible neck pulsations and throbbing for 3 weeks not and idk what’s causing it :/

I get it sometimes but that's because I'm quite skinny and young (16). I had EGC, echo and had my heart listened to and they couldnt find any problem.

If you are concerned then go to your GP and they will refer you to a cardiologist just to run some tests. It gave me a peice of mind, and as the stress about my heart went away, so did the palpitations.

I highly recommend you do not search your symptoms online as the first thing you read will be the worst case scenarios like aneurism, cancer, heart disease etc... which are VERY VERY unlikely in a healthy person, who doesn't smoke, isn't obese and exercises regularly.

Hope this helps

I’m not necessarily worried about that it is life threatening, it’s more a concern that it will not resolve. It isn’t comfortable after all and the constant pulsations in my neck are making it hard to relax. Had headaches since it started too which seems coincidental!

Might as well visit the GP then

Did anyone get this after a traumatic experience or anxiety attack? I think I will try some benzos to see if they can help. I have tried everything else such as clean lifestyle, breathing techniques, exercise frequently etc. Nothing helps long term. Just a big meal or a coffee and I am back to the pumping pulse. Its a ****ing joke this condition that came out of no where. Had this for over a year now and I even don't look forward to go to sleep anymore because I know the pulse in my tempels will be bouncing crazy
