I wonder why my torso and head "bounces" with each heartbeat and you can literally SEE my radial pulse from several feet away. My BP usually runs a range of 117/70 to 159/89 . I am 48 Y/O) female 8 year post- hysterectomy with hx of mvp, grave's disease, cervical cancer, pud, gerd, ibs, chronic tension headaches, migraine, and syncope. I am 5'9' and weigh 140 lbs. I smoke 1 pack or less a day for 30 years. ( I smoke less on workdays because I have no time) I drink almost daily, either 2 beers, 3 glasses of wine, or some liquour if I have it. I am supposed to be taking (Too MUCH) valium, but don't like it. I am unfortunately an aggressive (when stressed) and anxious person. Is this all anxiety? Just a note...the heartbeat "bouncing" and the skipping of beats do not make me anxious, but curious. What IS this?
