Anyone can check their pulse once they know the locations to find it. There are a few of them and you can use anyone you like. One location is on your wrist and you can also find your pulse on the side of your neck and on your upper arm.
One you have located yours, you can then discover what your pulse rate is. You have seen this done by your doctor and you will count the number of beats you feel for one minute. If you are feeling dizzy, your pulse rate can be an indicator as to why that is and also why you have a shortness of breath. Your pulse can also tell your doctor if you have a blocked blood vessel.
Some medications can slow your pulse and those who workout will check their pulse often which will tell them about their fitness level. Your resting pulse rate is taken first thing in the morning and once you begin moving, it will increase. Counting your pulse and doing some math will give you numbers that will let you know if your heart is working well or having difficulty. Ask your doctor for more information about your pulse.
