Relax: If you are functioning well enough to enter the question you have an adequate heart rate, Try flexing your palm inward toward your body slightly & feel it.An outward extension drops the artery between wrist bones. Don't push hard. Also try in your neck about an inch away from the windpipe. You may want someone to teach you the techniques.
