seeing your heart beat? - General Health Message Board

sometimes if i look down at the left side of my chest it moves up and down in rhythm with my heartbeat. Does this happen to anyone else? Is it normal?

Yes, it's normal for a lot of people. especially if they are thin. But even heavier folks can see the pulsing of their heart.

You're fine! Stop scanning your body for something new to worry about! (LOL)

This happens to me all the time. I can especially see it in my stomach and lower abdomin. It freaks me out sometimes. I usually begin to think, OH MY GOSH< something is wrong. But my mom says it's normal to have that, especially in thin people, which I am. You notice it more when you are nervous too.

hi!

This is normal. There are times when I can hear my heart beat in my ears.
