Priya Nath holds Shri Nathji’s wrist with his hand no matter where he walks, and measures Shri Nathji’s pulse. He discovers, much to his despair, that Shri Nathji’s pulse rate speeds up dangerously on even the slightest bit of movement. From 60 it goes up to 90 or 100, in just the brief walk to the bathroom in the room.“Kaisee hai? How is it?”And Priya Nath would respond with a worrying reply: “Abhee bhee irregular chal rahi hai! It is still beating irregularly!”“Main to bilkul thheek hoon! Chalne do jaisee bhee chalti hai!Shri Nathji was right. In later years medical science came to the conclusion that if the irregular pulse was not giving rise to any symptoms then it should be left alone and not treated. The medicines that treated an irregular pulse had bad side effects. There were some that halted the urine, and others that caused white spots in the cornea of the eye.
