A member asked:

Is there something wrong when your heart beats hard enough for you to always feel it and it shakes your body a bit every time it beats?

Specializes in Cardiology

Probably not: If you just feel hard one or two beats here and there these could be just extra beats which are not dangerous. But if this is happening frequently and bothers you then you should see a cardiologist.
