A spectroscopic monitoring of the post-AGB star HD 56126 was performed as regularly as possible over a 14-month interval in order to study atmospheric motions that could be associated with shock wave propagation through the stellar atmosphere. Some spectral features are strongly variable on a timescale of a few days. Radial velocity variations are also good evidence for complex atmospheric dynamics, in agreement with the recently found photometric variability. The data point to a pulsating nature for HD 56126, with a main period of 27.3 days.
