Can you have an arrhythmia when your pulse feels steady in your wrist? been waking up with fast vibrating chest feeling but pulse is 74 to 85 n steady
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Although there are: some arrhythmias that you might not be able to feel in your pulse it is highly unlikely you have one of those. It is more likely that you are feeling something transmitted from your GI tract or muscle fasciculations from your chest. Ask your health care provider to order a monitor to confirm.
