Hi @pmrnew Good call to check your blood pressure so you know that it is not causing you to feel your heart beating so strongly. I agree with @gloaming that it sounds like you are in a good place, making strides in the direction of living your best quality of life.
Saying this, however I am not a medical professional. I have experienced somewhat your same sensation in my body. I have felt my heart beating strongly in various places like my abdomen, back, fingers, etc. at times that I could watch my skin move as I felt the pulsing. I agree that it is freaky!
I notice beating sensations after stretching and exercising, for sure. It happens in problem places that seem to clear up/improve by my self-care efforts. I notice this for a time and then it must work into being normal for me. I don’t feel it in that spot anymore.
Are there specific times you feel your heart beating throughout your body? What type of therapy, maybe self-care or medication have you adopted since learning you have what I think you refer to as Polymyalgia Rheumatica (PMR)?
@jlharsh yes Polymyalgia Rheumatica. No specific times, often just reading in bed. The only PMR treatment that does not cure, but covers the pain is Prednisone. Seems that drug does raise BP. Among all the other side effects, like diabetes, hi cholesterol, osteoporosis and many more. My self care has been gym, no alcohol, mostly vegan. To combat Prednisone side effects as per doc, I now take some supplements. This Mayo clinic sharing stories has helped me incredibly. I have not had any health issues, no meds, nothing at 64 years. Never knew that a health issue could be so very different for so many, it has helped reading about others sharing.
