A member asked:
The harder and stronger your pulse in your neck is the higher your bp probably is right? could i have higher bp when i almost have no palpation pulse?

No connection: Although it would seem to follow that the higher your blood pressure the stronger your pulse would be, I don't believe that is the case. A week or non-palpable pulse may indicate the presence of partial or complete blockage of an artery by atherosclerosis. My guess is that you are not palpating in the correct area to feel your pulse. If you had no pulse you wouldn't be able to write us :)
