A member asked:
Sometimes i feel pulsation in artery in my left thigh (even without placing hand on it) while lying. is it normal?

No: This suggests a high systolic and low diastolic pressure and you might be surprised to know that such a finding is (or was) typical of berberi, the vitamin b1 deficiency disease. If you are eating a lot of simple carbs----pop, donuts, sweets etc it could be the underlying cause.

No: Should see a vascular specialist, could be aaneurysm of the artery.
