pulse/heartbeat all over my body.

Lately, I have noticed that when I go to sleep, I can feel my pulse in strange places, such as fingers, legs, stomach...and lately, all over at the same time.
Any idea of what this is?

I have hard pounding,throbbing pulse upper back to the right of my spine, when sitting back against a surface or lying in bed.
Did anyone have a Dr respond to any of these symptoms about the pounding heart beats that we feel through out our bodies?? Maybe an aneurysm??
Just curious

Hello. I am a paramedic and I just want to say that the feeling of your heartbeat over your entire body isn't a bad thing, and it is semi normal. IN FACT a strong pulse is a really good thing. The force of your pulse has nothing to do with high or low blood pressure, a strong pulse means that your heart isn't being inhibited by an outside source such as cholesterol or an acute myocardial infarction (which is dead muscle tissue in the heart). If your heart was that strong and beating 150 times a minute then that would be cause for concern as the rate of your pulse affects your body drastically. Even though I do not believe there has been an official study, in my experience in the field the stronger my patients pulses have been the healthier they were. I too have a pulse the surges through my body causing almost a wavelength type motion across my body. So most of you are probably well off.
