if i lay on my back and put my legs vertically in the air my pedal pulse becomes visible and i can feel it strongly in my right foot. the feeling and visible pulsing go away when i lower my legs. it doesn't happen in left foot. should i be concerned?

Accepted Answer

: Since this maneuver isn't one that most physicians use during a physical examination, I'm not sure what the significance of your observation is. Because of gravity I wouldn't expect the dorsalis pedis or posterior tibial pulses would be more forceful with the legs vertically elevated. If conventional examination of these pulses , with legs horizontal or dependent, show normal pulsations no problem

Accepted Answer

See your doctor: Your symptoms could be due various causes.  If these symptoms don't go away fairly soon you should see your physician.  It may be nothing serious but for peace of mind don't try to diagnose yourself.  If you search the internet you will only worry yourself.

Your physician will reassure you or let you know if you need additional tests.
