I can actually SEE my pulse in my wrist.→[More:]That can't be normal, can it?
It's been going on for about 5 minutes now, accompanied by occasional twitching in that big fleshy part of the palm below the thumb.
I have a heart that doesn't beat exactly as it should, and I take medication for it (have for a really long time). Sometimes my heart beats so ferociously that I can actually see my shirt move. Yep.
I'm still alive. I think you and your wrist will be fine.
Cool, maybe you could divide that one big heart into lots of little ones, distributed throughout your body and thus make your various limbs and extremities less vulnerable to system crash! This is clearly the next step in human evolution.
