I THINK with a big * I might attempt today. But I can't seem to find the carotid artery with my "hand around my Adam's apple & thumb on other side"
I was once a medical assistant & was always told to never check for a pulse with a thumb, because the thump has it's own pulse.
anyway is this a common problem? Are there any tricks. Could being obese be the problem?

Sorry but yes, being obese makes it more difficult.
