I can feel my pulse throbbing throughout my body. it feels as if my entire body is expanding and contracting with each heart beat.

See doctor: This may be just from a severe anxiety/psychologic reaction or something more serious like a dissecting aortic aneurysm even though I am more inclined towards anxiety. Nonetheless this calls for immediate medical attention .
