I can see my heart beat on my stomach...?

[MadCat]

Hi, in the last 4 months I have noticed something weird going on. Most of the day I don't wear a shirt on my body because it's too hot.

Anyway what my problems is I can see my heart beat on my stomach. My stomach moves to the beats of my heart. What I mean is it moves in and out and just my looking at it I can see when my heart beats, and when it stops. I just have to place my hand on my stomach and I can heart my heart perfectly. Is this normal? Do I have some kind of illness that I don't know about? I haven't seeked any medical help because I am worried of getting laughed at if it's indeed common.

i am 20 years old i have been diagnosed with svt 2 years ago now since then i have been terrifeid of everthing and think in just gona drop off.i am waiting to have an ablation in the begginn of the new year to sort out the problem.i am so glad to hear that i am not the only one with these types of problems. i always every day or now and then have missed heart beats then big bangs in my chest then alot of thuding in my heart that lasts a few seconds and is very scary after i keep expecting it to happen again so i keep worring.i have noticed about the gas that have to burp all the time to prevent the jumps from happening othewise i get lots of jumps.I see a cariologist regularly and had all the various tests you can think of but they put most of it down to worring.I have been taking all different types of medication until i have found ones that suit me(Verapermil 40mg 3 times a day).I find that when i lie flat on my back of bend over to put my shoes on or sleep on the side of my heart my heart my heart jumps alots.
is there anyone esle how feels like this that can give me some advise please as a am so terrified!!!

Wishing everone the best of luck and a very good new year

Wish I could help but I think a burp is as good as anything else. I definitely get more pvc's with a full stomach...one thing I notice is that if I cut down on the carbs, especially at night I have a better chance of cutting back on the skipped beats. Merry Christmas and good luck!

Lost my password at peacjt so I had to re-register at peacjt@, but anyway, I can feel my pulse over anyplace on my body that has arteries where I can check my pulse.  As I sit here at the computer I can feel it in my chest, arms, legs and even in my feet as I have my fingers on the keyboard.  Weird.  My Pvc's are still about the same as usual.  If I don't get gas I usually don't get the pvc's.  A good old fashioned burp helps more than anything.  Seems like I am getting gas more than ever.  Pepcid AC seems to help with additional Rolaids as needed.  Alka Seltzer helps me burp but seems to cause additional gas too.  Has anyone else discoverd anything that helps with these same symptoms????

I can see my wrist pulse move, which I guess is no big deal, but lately I can feel my pulse in my fingertips. If I put any pressure at all on my hands I can feel my pulse. I have a strong heartbeat that I am always aware of, so I'm used to that, but I wonder if feeling a pulse in my hands is normal. I am in a very cold climate and think that may have an effect because of possible vein constriction due to the cold weather. Any thoughts? Thanks!

Interesting. If I eat a large meal (maybe a little too much,) I will experience increased PVCs.
