A member asked:

When i'm feeling anxious/panicking i feel my pulse and it feels faint. i can hardly feel it.when it should be thumping is there anything wrong?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Anxiety: often affects heart rate, thus pulse rate. It does not always make the pulse stronger or weaker. This depends on your medical status at the time. Discuss this with your doctor who can help steer you to the right place for help.
