For the past several weeks I ve been experiencing a visual and exaggerated pulsing in my left arm, on the inside just below the elbow. It happens randomly and normally lasts less than 15 seconds, then stops. I ve noticed it mostly when I m at work, seated at my desk, but it has also happened in the evenings/weekends. I m a 61 year old female.
Hi Dear, Welcome to Chat Doctor. Understanding your concern. As per your query you have pulsating sensation in arms. Well there can be many reasons for symptoms you mention in query like B12 deficiency, multiple Sclerosis, herpes infection, less blood supply and triggered nerve. I would suggest you to apply warm compresses, massage with sesame oily gently, eat healthy add fresh fruits and green vegetables in your diet and give your arm proper rest. Consult orthopedic surgeon if the condition doesn't get well. Doctor may order CR scan or MRI along with physical examination. Doctor may recommend physical therapy which will help a lot along with orthodox MRO, anti-inflammatory and vitamin supplement like vitamin B12. Doctor may also refer you to cardiologist for blood supply problem. Hope your concern has been resolved. Get Well Soon. Best Wishes,
