Do you check your pulse?. Thanks for being honest. Even if you don't, don't feel bad because even 8 out of 10 individuals don't do that. Funny isn't it?.
In this post I'll like to throw more light on the method we can check o ur pulse rate. Sit back, read and enjoy!
Step one: FINDING AND RECORDING YOUR PULSE:
Do ensure to Utilize your index finger and middle finger while searching for your pulse. Do not use your thumb, as its own pulse is strong enough to interfere with your overall reading.
Find the radial pulse. This refers the pulse on the side of the wrist nearest your body. Use the pads of your fingers. Place them just below the wrist creases on the thumb side. Press lightly until you feel the blood pulsing under your skin "sort of a beat motion". If necessary, move your fingers around a bit until you feel the pulse. (It's always there, but most times just not always easy to locate).
Find the carotid pulse. This is the neck area. To feel a pulse on the side of the neck just below your jawline, place your index and middle fingers in the hollow between the windpipe and the large muscle in the neck. Press lightly until you feel a pulse. This is seen to be a lot easier than finding the pulse in your wrists at times.
Check and record your heart rate. Use a watch or clock with a second hand or digital second display. Count the number of times you feel a throb for one minute (60 seconds). This is the most accurate method.If you're in a hurry, you could count the beats you feel for 15 seconds and multiply by four. This alternative will work but is not quite as accurate as counting for a full minute.
Establish your normal heart rate. The normal resting heart rate for an adult is 60-100 beats per minute. Normal heart rate for children under 18 is 70-120 beats per minute. WARNING! This applies to a person who is at rest. Any physical activity will increase the pulse rate.
Check the strength of the pulse to see if it is strong or weak. The strength of your pulse cannot be calculated precisely, but experienced professionals will characterize a pulse as weak, faint or strong .This is an indication of the health of the heart and vascular system.
Check the rhythm of your pulse. You're looking for regularity of pulsations and the pauses between them. If your pulse is steady, note it as "regular." If you detect a skip or other fluctuation in the pulse, it may be termed "irregular." This is not necessarily a cause for alarm, but if you note a consistent irregularity, you should seek medical advice.
