Have Pulsating Feeling In The Center Of Chest And Above Knee, Which Is Sporadic. Suggest?
Question: I have a pulsating feeling in the centre of my chest and also above my left knee which is sporadic.
Dear sir ,
Thank you for posting your query on XXXXXXX .
Looking into the history you have given it is very non specific complaint but still we can discuss the possibilities . Since you give a history of having two stents that means you are suffering from heart disease which may lead to arrythmias giving rise to throbbing sensation which is a likely possibilty in your case. Aortic aneurysm also needs to be ruled out for such symptoms can be because of them . Any AV malformation can also lead to such throbbing sensation .
Throbbing sensation of left knee is a very uncommon complaint and cannot be expalined without examining the knee itself.
I advsie you to visit a cardiologist and get yourself evaluted fully . An ECG , 2 D ECHO may be necessary as your treating doctor advises.
Wish you good health .
Take care.

The sensation above my left knee is a pumping effect would this be due to blood flow.As the symtoms seem to happen together.
Dear sir,
Thanks for reverting back.
It is possible in cases of aneurysm or AV malformations but that is very less likely . Only after examination your doctor would be able to tell you .
Take care.
