Is Missing Of Pulse While Checking BP Normal?
sir,
I am 69 years old and my weight is 101 K.G. I exercise regularly and I take a tablet in the morning for blood pressure. On checking my blood pressure my doctor tells me that sometimes i have missing pulse, I feel normal & healthy, please advise me that is it normal or I should go in for further investigation.

First I am not sure if that is occaisional skipped beats or the doctor didnt find the pulse sometimes. The latter is his problem not yours. Everyone has the occasional skipped beat. BUT an EKG with a 2 minute rhythm strip can show if ther eis a problme in the majority of cases.
