A member asked:

Is it normal if you can hear your heart beating when you're doing regular things?

A doctor has provided 1 answer
Dr. Jeffrey Webber answered

Yes!: we call it cardiac awareness. No one knows what triggers the realization, but it's a very normal experience. Most patients tell me they hear a hard or forceful beating in their ear.
