I'm about 4 weeks post surgery, and for the most part feeling well. The only weird thing is that when i do the least bit of activity (walking, standing) i can take my pulse and it feels like a weak pulse that i can just barely feel, then a regular pulse right after it. It usually feels like this until i sit down. I didn't think these were extra beats, just because there is no pause in-between them. Is this normal, has anyone else noticed this? I may just be paranoid.
weird pulse, maybe?

Could it be your blood pressure falling when you stand up?

Most likely nothing, but if it concerns you, run it past your Doctor. It may or may not mean anything.

Sometime a-fib feels like that. It's how my bro-in-law describes his pulse.
Check it with the doc. Most arrhythmias are disquieting, but not threatening.

Thanks, maybe i'll ask for a 24 hour holter just to make sure. That's what is weird. Before the surgery i felt every single irregularity. Now when i skip a beat or anything like that, i almost have to take my pulse to notice it. Don't know if that's good or bad.

This is how my a-fib feels when I take my pulse. Might not be what you have but I would talk to your doctor since it seems not quite right.
