What is pulse?
First, you need to define the basic concepts, figure out what and why you will measure. Not everyone knows that heart rate and pulse are not the same thing. The first indicator reflects the number of contractions of the ventricles of the heart per minute, i.e. how many times during this period the ventricles filled with blood and pushed it into the aorta and pulmonary artery. And the pulse is the number of oscillations of the arterial walls that occur due to contractions of the heart.

In a healthy person, these indicators are the same, but in some pathologies they may differ. The norm for an adult is a pulse rate of 60-90 oscillations per minute, in children the indicator is determined by age. The younger the child, the more frequent his pulse.
When measuring the pulse, the doctor determines several parameters:

Frequency;
Filling;
Voltage;
Height;
Rhythm;
Form.
By taking measurements yourself, you can only find out the frequency. But this indicator also allows you to evaluate the work of the heart, choose the right physical activity, and notice changes in time.

Algorithm for correct measurement
There is a simple algorithm for measuring the pulse, which can be used in any circumstances. The pulse is easily felt on the wrist, and equally on both hands. For such a measurement, several conditions must be met:

Place your wrist at heart level on the palm of your other hand;
Feel the pulse on the palmar side along the edge where the thumb is (the pulse is usually not heard on the little finger side, this is due to the location of the radial artery);
Place your fingers around your wrist so that your index finger is closer to the wrist joint;
Apply light pressure with your fingertips on your wrist towards the radius.
The middle and index fingers should feel the pulse wave - rhythmic vibrations of the artery wall. It is necessary to note the time and count the number of beats per minute.

Alternatively, you can measure your pulse on your neck. To do this, you need to find the carotid artery: run your fingers from the back corner of your lower jaw down your neck. However, it is believed that determining your pulse on your hand is more comfortable, and its results are more accurate.
