I’m missing out on this particular bit of Lemmy Lore, did something happen?
That’s so interesting, thanks for sharing the link. But in my case, nothing moves. After reading some replies and googling more I’m more inclined to think it’s just the capillaries and small arteries delivering blood to the skin with different amounts of delay.
Fair enough, this could be it
Yeah, nothing moves, it feels like a pulsation on my skin but nothing is moving. Neither my skin nor my muscles move. I’m trying to understand what causes this sensation. What is point with that quote?
Why is this question considered medical advice? Also, considering most common facts are parroted correctly out of LLMs, why is it wrong to search for answers there first?
This is the theory I side with the most, I just hope I’ll find someone who can confirm or debunk said speculation
Is it possible to feel this flush pulsating at different rythms simultaneously on different areas of my skin? I would think it’s just blood flow but it’s so erratic and not matching my heartbeat
I used to believe the same but the thing that puzzles me is that it’s not with the rhythm of my heartbeat. It feels like skin flushing from blood flow like you describe, but in patches, and they all pulsate at different speeds.
I can get to take home a device to chek my pressure for free?
I knew it, I knew it, I knew it! I’ve been deceived all my life!
I never said my skin moved either my dude. It’s a sensation, not a movement
That’s an interesting point, usually I don’t stretch for walking. Often I don’t even consider it a fitness activity per se, it’s just that I need to walk fast to get somewhere on time. It happens regardless of whatever shoes or clothing I’m wearing
I know my legs are fine. All I want to know is a name for this sensation and what causes it. Yes, I want to know about the weird stuff the body does, why is it wrong to ask chatGPT or google?
Okay, so you’re saying even though I feel it on my skin and not my muscles is still on my muscles. Fair enough. But then why does it happen only with mild activities like walking but not with something more intense?
No, this isn’t something bothering me in any other way than making me curious about it. I’m not seeking medical advice, just physiological or biological information about this phenomenon. It doesn’t really feel like a twitch in my muscles, it’s more like my skin is pulsating. My body doesn’t move. It’s just a sensation
No, I don’t have the means. Why would it be the blood pressure?
Because it seems to happen as a consequence for the movement, and it’s consistent. My hydration levels aren’t. Regardless of how much or what I’ve been drinking, of how much I’ve been sweating, I still feel it. Also note I don’t feel it as much after doing an intense workout in which I sweat bullets. And I’ve never felt it if I’ve been resting the whole day even though I’m sure I must have been dehydrated occasionally on rest days. Also it feels more like something on the skin and not like a regular muscle spasm.
That’s just why I don’t believe it is dehydration, but you could be right, it could be dehydration.🤷🏼♀️
I’ve met plenty of people who do experience it, but nobody knows what it is. I even encourage you ask people you know, you’d be surprised. I’ve never met someone who would be alarmed by it though. But you are right, it is something I should be asking a doctor. I always forget unfortunately
I don’t understand why someone would downvote you or why this opinion would cause an impact of any kind? People say all sorts of crazy things online. Was she particularly rude, trollish or baitey?
