A member asked:
Is it serious if i can feel blood pumping through my veins?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Not really: You are probably feeling the blood pumping through arteries. Veins are very low pressure vessels. Veins and arteries run close together. Some people can feel or sense the pulse in the arteries and that is normal. Sometimes people can become overly concerned with the sensation so try not to.
