Psychiatrist,  's  Response
hello
welcome to healthcare magic

According to the information provided by you that you are checking your pulse repeatedly to make sure that you are alive.......it points to the fact that u might have some sort of Obsessive and compulsive behaviour..... a kind of anxiety disorder

But you need not to be worried .....

Consult a psychiatrist nearby so that he can guide you better regarding management of your problem..... and i am sure you will be fine...

Good luck

Thanks
