Hello! Thank you for asking on HCM! I understand your concern, and would like to explain that it is normal to feel a throbbing heart beat during this examination. It is not related to any nerve damage, and all the healthy persons experience this feeling. It may be related to anxiety and to the abdominal pressure during the examination. As far as you didn t feel any tingling in your legs, it means that your nerves are not affected by any disorder (or compressed). So there is nothing to worry about! Hope to have been helpful! Feel free to ask any other questions, whenever you need! Greetings! Dr. Iliri
