I went to the doctors?

As I kept feeling weak and dizzy. So I went to the doctors but my doctor checked my pulse so weird... I thought you had to keep your arm flat but he was holding it like this...

Which I don't understand why? As I've had my pulse checked many times before, maybe it was cause I was laying down maybe? But just thought it was odd

There are plenty if ways to check a pulse. Did he do it more than once with you in different positions (laying, sitting, standing)?

No just with me laying down lol but he checked it twice 😂 just was odd that's all lol.

You can check someone pulse in there feet if you know how. Plenty of ways to do it.

Pulse is no big deal. Blood pressure needs a more controlled check. They are totally different.

There is no right way as long as they can feel your pulse and they are counting it after 1 minute.

It forces the blood out of the arm so it is easier to feel the heart beat
