If your pulse “stops”, see a cardiologist if you can feel it – Hematology, and if his attacks are less than 45 – endocrinologist. Put your fingers on the artery and analyzing the radiation pulse, you can find a lot safer if you have a health problem.
How to properly measure the pulse
Most correctly pulse to be measured in a sitting position. The classic place for radiation measurement artery. Pulse is measured on it off the thumb width below the first fold of skin to the wrist. If it is thus difficult to feel, then you can more easily find it on the carotid artery. The pulse of a healthy person at rest is 60-80 beats per minute – then it is smooth and rhythmic. To avoid uncertainty, no pulse after drinking or after eating, with a strong sense of hunger after heavy physical work or strenuous mental work, after a massage, taking a bath or shower, after sex, but also in the critical (at women) days.
Frequency (in beats per minute)
- Less than 45: This suggests a possible heart blockage, which can cause fatigue, chronic fatigue, and neglected to form – for blood clots in the heart. If you measure this rate, it is better to visit a cardiologist to make a cardiogram.
- In the range 59-46: Sign of underactive thyroid gland. Visit endocrinologist.
- In the range 81-100: This may be evidence of hypertension. If you are tackles measure pulse and blood, and it is above 140/90 mm.rt.st. should visit a cardiologist.
- More than 100: This fast heart rate is often a sign of increased thyroid gland function. Should visit an endocrinologist.
Beware! Single pulse measurement is not sufficient reason to be assigned to one of the above groups. Make several measurements over a period of time.
Rhythm
If the pulse “disappear” for awhile – it could be a sign of heart block. If in the normal rhythm is irregular wedged hit – this is an indication of arrhythmia. In both cases you should seek care from a cardiologist.
Filling pulse
If one shot pulse is strong, and next is weak or if the pulse differs completely in the right and left hand, this may be a sign of heart failure.
If the pulse is weak filling (thin and barely palpated) – this is often a symptom of anemia or low blood pressure. Measure it. If it is really low, consult your doctor – it is very likely to refer you to a cardiologist or haematologist.

The distortions in the pulse may indicate a different disease conditions: damage to the myocardium, poisoning, impaired metabolism, even hidden depression. Our heart is “beating” relentlessly – it is cutting more than 100 million times a day and every hour of movement in the blood vessels around 300 liters of blood. His attacks are kind of encrypted account the state of the organism.
In what disturbances in heartbeat should seek help from specialist
Pulse should be measured in an upright or lying down if you’re hungry or just take food if you’ve frozen or overheated, and for women – in and on the eve of critical days. Heartbeats can be counted easily. Set the number of hits on the pulse for 30 seconds and multiply the result by 2. If you suffer from heart problems and there is no guarantee that the amount of strokes in various meanwhile time is the same, the best count for 1 minute.
What is the norm
For babies 120-140 beats per minute for children of preschool age – 90-110, for older children – 80-90, and for those who are over 14 years and older – 60-80. Over the years, the pulse becomes slower – not more than 65 beats per minute. Interesting, and important fact is that when he more often exhalation and inhalation is slowing. If your heartbeats are less than normal, the case of bradycardia. If you are a sportsman or just playing sports regularly, this result may be evidence of more economical operation of the heart. But if you are not accustomed to the workload and training, probably suffer from any disease: a viral infection, intracranial pressure, reduced thyroid, other heart disease.
Therefore you must do the cardiogram, an analysis of thyroid hormones, Uzi heart and blood chemistry. Sometimes the pulse disappears for a short time. This condition is called a blockade of the heart, ie delay or complete termination of the passage of an impulse of excitement in the heart conductive system. If you are late for a second strike may occur convulsions and seizures, which are hazardous to life. Blockades usually begin in severe necrotic, sclerotic or inflammatory processes in heart defects in complex and after a heart attack. Rapid pulse (tachycardia) is widely known and virtually all. It happens and healthy people – after the excitement, exercise, serving alcohol, but very quickly everything returns to normal.
Sometimes, however, tachycardia may persist for hours or even days. If it is accompanied by increased pressure or temperature, they should be treated. In their absence, must check the level of hemoglobin in blood and activity of the thyroid gland. Refer to cardiologist for advice – sometimes this is a sign of inflammation of the myocardium. Tachycardia most often due to the vegetative-vascular dystonia and should take care of the nervous system. Of rhythmic pulse is also easily determined: the standard intervals between the attacks must be the same. But sometimes late pulse once or hurry. Cardiologists call this condition extrasystoles.
These unpleasant feelings are often frighten patients and provoke their doubts about the existence of a serious illness. Themselves extrasystoles not have any damage. If the pulse increases after exercise, possible endocrine disorders or myocarditis. And if it reduces – the problem lies in the state of the nervous system. This is one of the typical signs of hidden depression.
