Suggest Treatment For Pulsating Sensation In The Thumb

My left thumb pulses with my heart beat. It has been doing this for months. I notice it stops for a few seconds, but starts right back up again. It s pulsing or moving with my heartbeat. For example, it pulses, jerks 27 times like a heartbeat, them pauses for 3-4 beats, then continues again. No injury, slight carpel tunnel but not serious. Should I seek medical attention?

Hi,Thanks for your query. After going through your query I came to know that your thumb pulses with my heart beat. You have no other symptoms .I think you need not to worry , you does not require any treatment. As a precautionary measure you can get your MRI of hand done to discover a disease. You can discuss with your treating Doctor about it. I do hope that you have found something helpful. If you have additional questions or follow up queries then please do not hesitate in writing to us. I will be happy to answer your queries. Wishing you good health. Take care.
