Customer question:
I can feel my heart beating - is this normal? Anonymous customer's question
Pharmacist's answer:
Yes, the feeling of a heartbeat is entirely normal and is usually felt as a throbbing or throbbing sensation in the chest or neck area. This results from contractions of the heart muscles, which pump blood around the body.
The feeling of a heartbeat is most apparent when you are at rest or during physical activity.
However, the intensity of the feeling of a heartbeat can vary between individuals and depends on various factors, including body weight, level of physical fitness, level of stress, and other physiological and psychological factors.
If the feeling of the heartbeat is suddenly more substantial or the accompanying symptoms cause concern, it is recommended to consult your doctor. Sudden fast heartbeats or other unusual chest sensations may require a medical examination to rule out possible heart or other health problems. Your doctor can perform an assessment and, if necessary, order appropriate tests to assess your heart health more accurately.
