A member asked:
I can feel my pulse when i am lying down and relaxed in my fingers (closed of both hands together , like praying) is it normal. ?

Often normal: In my experience, when people are completely relaxed, they can often feel the tiny pulsations in their fingertips. Is this what you mean? If it's stronger than a gentle pulsation, you should ask your doctor to examine you.

Yes: Blood pressure is easily felt in parts of body that are thin or where arteries are close to surface.
