Accepted Answer

NeckyNeckyBoomBoom: In some people yes.They have a thin neck and a prominent pulse and voila: Necky Boom Boom.

Depends on if it's constant or intermittent. If you look and feel good,don't worry. but if you feel short of breath, see a doc

Accepted Answer

Normal in normal kid: Normal, slim teens can see their pulse in their stomach areas when lying down, and they can feel it there too. If there are other reasons a teen is worried that she is not a normal teen, she can go see her doctor. Otherwise, she can just ask her pediatrician about the stomach pulse beat during her annual check-up. Teens should see their doctors annually for an exam and any missing vaccinations.

Question 8

is it a concern if i can see my sons heartbeat through his chest while resting? no chest pain or sob

Accepted Answer

Not a concern.: It's very unlikely that this represents a problem. Children's hearts beat more vigorously than adults' hearts do, and their chest wall is thinner, so the pulsations of the chest are more prominent. Your pediatrician can confirm  your son's heart is normal by listening to it with a stethoscope.
