the purpose of reading a pulse is to measure the systolic and dystolic pressure of blood in your body ( which just means the capacity of blood that is being puped by the heart) It is important to measure these levels because fluctuations can indicate a problem with your body. For example a heart attack or breathing difficulties

Yes, and if you want to measure your pulse rate easily, you can use an finger pulse oximeter. http://www.clinicalguard.com/finger-pulse-oximeter-parameters-a-4.html will provide further information.
