Hi Jutara...
Heightened blood viscosity can cause the pulse to get wide and remain while using the lifting method. If it is merely elevated lipids, then the whole pulse tends to be slippery. That said, elevated lipids will give a widening sensation upon lifting, but not as much as a condition such as polycythemia.

The mission of this group is to provide a forum for the discussion of pulse diagnosis so that a depth of understanding is furthered.
