A member asked:
About a week ago i noticed i can now see/feel an artery pulsating between my left index finger and my thumb. is this normal? should i be worried?

Don't worry: There are arteries all over and they all pulsate. That's their job. They carry oxygenated blood from your heart to everywhere and the power behind their travel is your heart beat. Don't worry. Worry does no benefit at all.
