What Could Weird Palpitations In Arm And Thigh Mean?
Once in a while, I have these weird palpitations (I m not quite sure if that s the correct term) either in my left arm or in my right thigh. It feels annoying, and I can actually see my arm or thigh pumping regularly (looks like huge muscle spasms, but doesn t feel like it)(probably to my heartbeat). These episodes are usually about 10 minutes long, and happen 5-6 times per day. I am a 17 years old male. What is that, and what can be the cause?

Hello,
As your heart pumps blood through your body, you can feel a pulsing in some of the blood vessels close to the skin's surface, such as in your wrist, neck, or upper arm. It is normal and there is nothing to be worried.
Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. Dorina Gurabardhi, General & Family Physician
