A member asked:
Is it normal to feel your heart beat pushing thru your rib cage? between the left nipple and my back? this happens most of the time in rest.
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes: Yes - it is called apical impulse. Easily palpable in thin built patients. It has various characteristic features based on underlying cardiac disorder. But like I said - it is palpable in normal thin built individuals, not necessarily only when you have a cardiac disorder.
