A member asked:

My heart beat just feels weird. i don't think it's heart palpations. it's not rapid. it's like i'm just aware that it's beating. ?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Not abnormal: It is not abnormal to feel your heartbeat. Often when we are resting or falling asleep we are more aware of our pulse. Also, stress and anxiety can exacerbate awareness of bodily symptoms. If this does not improve or causes other symptoms such as faintness, dizziness, lightheadedness seek medical attention.
