Having put my fingers on the radiation artery and analyzing the pulse, you can find out if health is fine. «All that you need is to have a clock and a sense of rhythm», - convinced cardiologist Olga Soroka. Specialist told what pulse about what he says.
How to measure the pulse
Properly measure the pulse in the sitting position (in the lying position slightly below, in the standing position - above). Classic measurement location - radiation artery (see. Photo). The pulse on it is measured at a thumb width below the first wrist skin folds near the bone. If it is hard for taking a pulse here, then you can easily find it on the carotid artery.
The pulse of a healthy person alone is 60-80 strikes per minute, it is rhythmic and uniform filling. According to these indicators, we will evaluate the result. In order not to be distortion, do not measure the pulse immediately after the intake of food and alcohol, with an acute sense of hunger, after severe physical work or intense mental labor, after massage, soul, bath, sex, as well as critical days.
Frequency (blows per minute)
- Less than 45 - this indicates a hearty blockade, which may be the cause of strong weakness, chronic fatigue, and in the launched form - the formation of thromboms in the heart. If you have such a pulse, you need to make a cardiogram and visit the cardiologist;
- 59-46 - often a sign of a reduced function of the thyroid gland. Go to the endocrinologist;
- 60-80 - pulse within the norm;
- 81-100 - This may indicate a hypertensive disease. Need to measure pressure. If it is above 140/90 mm. RT. Art., need to visit the cardiologist;
- More than 100 - such a frequent pulse frequent sign of increasing the function of the thyroid gland. Committed to the endocrinologist.
Rhythm
If the pulse disappears for some moment - this is a sign of the blockade of the heart, if in the middle of normal rhythm «Incline» Nehydramichny strikes - it says heart arrhythmia. In both cases, you need to go to the cardiologist.
Filling
- If one pulse punch is strong, and the next weak or if the pulse differs from filling on the right and left hand, it can talk about the heart pattern. In this case, you need to visit the cardiologist;
- If the pulse is weak to fill (thin, threaded, barely hardening), it is a symptom of anemia or reduced pressure. Measure the pressure: if it is lowered, visit the cardiologist and hematologist (blood specialist).
