A question to all steth lovers

Mine probably goes up a little, but no doctor has ever commented on it.

Yes. 😢 It’s embarrassing but I can’t control it most of the time!

At this exact moment I feel a mild rush of adrenaline flowing through me because of how excited I get. This is the part of the examination I look forward to the most.

I have to say though, that it can get a little bit embarrassing.

I struggle to control anything, heart goes crazy, mouth goes dry & my tummy does summersaults.

Omg - yes!! I've only been stethed twice as an adult (the second time was just last week) but both times my heart has got very excited by the brief attention 😃

The first time, my consultant checked my pulse first - the sight of his big hand wrapped around my little wrist, his fingers pressed quite firmly into my pulse point, had me so turned on I thought I might just slide off the chair. So by the time he was taking the steth from around his neck to put in his ears my heart was positively hammering.

Last week's very brief exam was minus the pulse check ??? But still, when I saw him reach for his steth my BPM went up by at least 20 😃

My heart absolutely hammers in my chest when I get stethed. Last time I was at the doctor, a younger physican saw me. When she put the stethoscope in her ears, my heart started pounding. She took my apical pulse for a full minute before she asked me is if I was nervous haha.
