Question: hi i have problem which is with each heartbeat my body moves i can see the motion of my body especially when i lay down , and together with that , i have numbness on face and pain on left side of my head although i made many MRIs and nothing was wrong.... please help me what does all that mean???
Hello,
Thanks for posting your query.
A pulsatile feeling with every heart beat through your body is a normal variation and is commonly seen in thin built individuals. It can also be aggravated by anxiety, thyroid dysfunction and cardiac problems.
The numbness of the face with no documented nerve damage on MRI can be due to a mild Vitamin B 12 deficiency in the body. Starting with vitamin B complex and methylcobalamin supplements will help in relieving the symptoms.
The pain in the head restricted to one side only is commonly seen in migraine. It can also be related to sinusitis or tension headache. A thorough examination will help in detecting the exact cause.
I hope this answers your query.
In case you have additional questions or doubts, you can forward them to me, and I shall be glad to help you out.
Please accept my answer in case you do not have further queries.
Wishing you good health.
Regards.
Dr. Praveen Tayal.

well dear doctor actually what i have is not a feeling of pulse NO, it is a real motion of my body especially my head with each heartbeat ,and this is destroying my life , but the problem is that when i am walking i don't feel like that i feel that only when i am at rest, this is even affecting my balance as i am off balance when this happens i mean when my body moves with each heartbeat together with that i have the off balance thing and the numbness so what i mean is that either it comes all together or i have no symptoms at all, so moving of body with each heartbeat and numbness in my face and off balance and pain in left side of head and also a fine tremor in my hands , so these symptoms either come together or no one of them comes. please help me dear doctor tell me where to and how to do the necessary test as i am new in the states and i don't have insurance and no medical aid only cash but all the places are very expensive so please if you could help me with your advice on where and what to do .thanks again
Hello.
Thanks for writing again.
The symptoms you describe are likely to be related to a nerve related problem. Getting yourself evaluated from a neurologist will be most helpful. Most of the times electrolyte imbalances and Vitamin B 12 deficiency is responsible for such feelings.
Meanwhile you can start taking methylcobalamin and Vitamin B complex supplements for two weeks and see if there is any improvement.
Hope my answer is helpful.
