Arrhythmia Or Irregular Heart Rhythm: How To Check Your Pulse To Know If You Have This Heart Condition

 How to Check Your Pulse for Arrhythmia

✔ Where to Check Your Pulse

Use either of these spots:

1. Wrist (Radial Pulse) – easiest and most common

2. Neck (Carotid Pulse) – stronger, but press lightly

Step-by-Step: Checking Pulse at the Wrist

1. Position your fingers

• Use your index and middle finger.

• Place them on the thumb side of your opposite wrist, just below the base of the thumb.

2. Press gently

• Press lightly until you feel the pulse.

• Do not use your thumb—it has its own pulse and can confuse you.

3. Count the beats

• Use a clock or phone timer.

• Count the beats for 30 seconds, then multiply by 2 to get your heart rate per minute (bpm).
  (Or count for 60 seconds for more accuracy.)

4. Observe the rhythm

This step is crucial for detecting arrhythmia.

Ask yourself:

Is the beat regular or irregular?

A normal pulse feels like:

“Lub-dub… lub-dub… evenly spaced.”

Possible arrhythmia signs include:

• Beats that come too early

• Skipped beats

• Beats that feel extra strong

• Fast, fluttering, or racing pulse

• A pulse that is slow and irregular

Checking Pulse at the Neck (Optional)

1. Place your index and middle finger beside your windpipe.

2. Press very gently—too much pressure can make you dizzy.

3. Count beats and check rhythm the same way.

What an Irregular Pulse May Feel Like

You might notice:

• Skipped beat: “thump… pause… thump-thump”

• Fluttering: rapid, light vibrations

• Fast and uneven: no steady gap between beats

• Occasional heavy beat after a weak one

When an Irregular Pulse Is Concerning

Seek medical attention if you notice:

🚩 Persistent irregular rhythm

🚩 Heart rate above 100 or below 50 (unless athletic)

🚩 Dizziness, fainting, fatigue

🚩 Shortness of breath

🚩 Chest pain or pressure (emergency)

---

Accuracy Tips

• Check your pulse when relaxed — not after exercise or stress.

• Take multiple readings (morning and evening).

• Use a blood pressure machine or wearable heart monitor for more accurate rhythm tracking.

Next Step if You Suspect Arrhythmia

Ask your doctor about:

• ECG / EKG

• Holter monitor (24–48 hrs)

• Wearable patch monitor (7–14 days)

These tests confirm arrhythmia far better than pulse checking alone.
