A pulse is a rhythmic beat or throbbing sensation that can be felt in various parts of the body, typically at the wrist or neck, as a result of the heart pumping blood. It is a vital sign that provides important information about a person's heart rate and overall cardiovascular health. Monitoring the pulse can help assess circulation, oxygenation, and cardiac function.

It is possible to find a pulse in many other places besides your wrist and your neck. In fact, anywhere where there is a major artery. The only reason the wrist and neck are the used as the point of finding a pulse is because they are the easiest to find.
So a pulse in your upper arm is normal, unless you were talking about a different type of pulse? You may want to provide additional information as to what you are talking about.

A weak pulse means you have difficulty feeling a person's pulse (heartbeat). An absent pulse means you cannot detect a pulse at all.
See also: CPR
Alternative NamesWeak pulse; Absent pulse
ConsiderationsAn absent or weak pulse may affect all or one part of the body.
If a pulse cannot be detected by a non-medical professional, it doesn't always mean there is a problem. Sometimes, it can be hard for a non-medical person to detect a pulse in certain areas.
Common Causes- Cardiac arrest (lack of an effective heartbeat)
- Improper technique used to feel for the pulse
- Normally weak pulse that is difficult to measure without proper instruments
- Shock
Follow the treatment your health care provider prescribes. CPR may be necessary.
Call your health care provider ifCall your health care provider if there is any sudden, severe, or long-lasting decrease in the pulse quality or rate, particularly when there are also other symptoms.
Shock is a life-threatening condition. Seek immediate medical help if you think someone has gone into shock. Start CPR, if needed.
A loss of consciousness or disorientation suggests that there is not enough blood getting to the brain. Seek medical help immediately.
What to expect at your health care provider's officeYour medical provider will take a medical history, do a physical exam, and ask questions such as:
- Is the pulse weak?
- Is it absent?
- Is the pulse weak or absent in only one location?
- Is a major pulse weak or absent (for example, when checking the carotid pulse in the neck)?
- What other symptoms are present?
Physical examination may include monitoring the vital signs (pulse, rate of breathing, blood pressure). Emergency measures will be taken as necessary. Continued monitoring may be necessary.
Diagnostic tests may include:
- Aortography
- Arteriography such as extremity arteriography
- Blood studies (CBC or blood differential)
- Doppler ultrasonography
- ECG
- Echocardiography
- X-rays of the chest

I have high pulse rate and I've learned from being in the hospital. I was up and walking around when the doctor came in he noticed my pulse rate went way up to 116. He said what I was experiencing was an anxiety attack and for me just to relax and ordered me med's for the anxiety My tip and I'm still a work in progress is if your feel this coming on or not try deep slow breathing excersizes. It helps. I believe med's as a last resort but dr. knows best..

== Your pulse is the number of times your heart beats in a minute; it's your heart rate. == The rhythmical throbbing of arteries and veins produced by the regular contractions of the heart, especially as palpated at the wrist or in the neck. Here is a general standard of pulse rate (PR). Resting Pulse Rate PR < 40 BMP - Below healthy resting heart rates. PR 40-60 BPM - Resting heart rate for sleeping. PR 60-100 BPM - Healthy adult resting heartrate. PR 100 BPM - 220 BPM - Acceptable if measured during exercise. Not acceptable if resting heartrate. PR > 220 BPM - Abnormally high heart rate.

A bounding pulseis a strong and forceful pulse.
See also: Heart palpitations
Alternative NamesBounding pulse
Considerations- A bounding pulse can often be seen in arteries that are close to the skin.
- A bounding pulse may be a sign of excessive fluid in the circulation (fluid overload).
- A rapid heart rate (tachycardia) and bounding pulse can occur together or separately.
- A rapid pulse can be a symptom of arrhythmia.
A bounding pulse and rapid heart rate both occur in the following conditions or events:
- Anxiety
- Heavy exercise
- Fever
- Pregnancy
- Overactivy thyroid
A bounding pulse can result from fluid overload due to heart failure, chronic kidney failure, and other conditions. It may also occur in aortic valve regurgitation.
Call your health care provider ifCall your health care provider if you experience a sudden, severe, or persistent increase in the intensity or rate of your pulse. This is particularly important when this increase is accompanied by other symptoms, or when it is not relieved by resting for a few minutes.
What to expect at your health care provider's officeYour health care provider will perform a physical examination that includes checking your temperature, pulse, rate of breathing, and blood pressure. Your heart and circulation will also be examined.
Your provider will ask questions such as:
- Is this the first time you have felt a bounding pulse?
- Did it develop suddenly or gradually?
- Is it present continuously, or only from time to time?
- Does it get better if you rest?
- What other symptoms do you have?
- Does it only happen along with other symptoms, such as palpitations?
- Are you pregnant?
- Have you had a fever?
- Have you been very anxious or stressed?
- Do you have high blood pressure or congestive heart failure?
- Do you have kidney failure?
- Do you have heart valve disease?
The following diagnostic tests may be performed:
- Blood studies (CBC or blood count)
- Chest x-ray
- ECG(electrocardiogram)
- Echocardiogram

Your pulse is the rate at which your heart beats per minute. The contraction of your heart muscle generates pressure waves. This causes the arterial walls to move, generating a tactile pulse felt anywhere an artery can be pressed into the bone -- at the wrist or neck, for example. Variations in pulse rhythm indicate medical issues, and pulse rate correlates to overall fitness. A lower heart rate is generally better, as it indicates a stronger heart.
Finding your heart rateYou can measure two different heart rates. The first is your average resting heart rate (RHR). This measurement involves taking your pulse over three mornings, as soon as you wake up, without getting out of bed. The second is your maximum heart rate, though this one is harder to measure and requires intense exercise. You can find your heart rate by taking your pulse and counting the number of beats for ten seconds. You then multiply the number of beats by six to obtain your heart rate. For example, if you count 11 beats in 10 seconds, your heart rate would be 66 beats per minute.
A stop watch may help keep track of the seconds. Detecting pulseCounting the beats required to measure your pulse is not difficult. Simply press your index and middle fingers against your wrist, about one inch down from the base of your hand, to feel the throbbing of your pulse.
If you are having trouble detecting your pulse in one area, try another. Your ideal heart rateFind your ideal heart rate by using a chart. These charts are readily available online, and they show what your heart rate should be for your age group. In addition, calculating your heart rate while exercising can show you whether you are exercising at a proper rate by comparing it to target heart rate zones for different ages. If you are below the zone, you should increase the rate of your exercise. If you are above the zone, decrease this rate.
Make sure to check with a doctor before attempting strenuous exercise.You can improve your exercise plan and check your own health by using a pulse chart. Simply take your pulse and compare your heart rate values to standards.

Pulse position modulation can be analog or digital, it depends on the signal and/or the modulator used to obtain the modulation.
If an analog signal is applied at the input of the modulator, the position of the pulse can assume an infinity of different timing states (the signal vary continuously) and hence an analog modulation is realised in PPM.
On the contrary if the signal is digitized previously in a series of discrete states, the pulse at the output will have discrete timing interval (not continuosly). Then a digital modulation is obtained.
If the signal is analog, but the modulator is digital, we will have again a number of finite state in output timing, and the PPM will be digital.
To be noted that, if the number of steps in the digital modulator, is higher then the dinamic range required, the performance of the digital and analog PPM will be exactly the same.
Cecking the front of the pulse of PPM with a digital oscilloscope capable of jitter measurament, we will see immediately if the position of the pulses will be continuosly variable or a number of discrete steps will be presented.
We can then consider analog and digital PPM physically different.

This is due to oxygen debt.
As soon as the demanding type of exercise has ceased, the body reverses the processes in order to refill the oxygen that it has been depleted from different parts of the body. The following four major tasks are involved in the reversal process:
ATP is restocked.
Lactic acid is catabolized and removed (this is felt as acute pain in the muscles similar to a burning sensation).
Refilling the store houses of oxygen in the myoglobin (a compound similar to hemoglobin that is found in the muscles).
Glycogen is restored.
This causes the pulse rate to increase in order to supply the body with blood at a fast rate to keep up with its needs.

I think it isn't normal. But young people tend to accelerate heartbeat easily. Drink peppermint tea all the time, and do not worry about things you can't change. If you are not feeling pain or dizziness don't worry. If so consult a doctor, but don't worry it's a simple matter.

A distal pulse should be the same rate as a femoral pulse, carotid pulse, brachial pulse, pedal pulse, or radial pulse. The strength of the pulse may be harder to feel the further away from the heart, but the rate should be the same. One heart, One Pulse Rate. The Normal heart rate/pulse in an adult is 60-100 beats per minute. Less of course, in the super healthy athlete.

It's called the apical pulse.
For future reference:
Radial pulse - at your wrist next to your thumb on both arms.
Carotid pulse - at your neck.
Apical pulse - at your chest.
