Where in your body is your heart located?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Center of chest: Just behind (and protected by) your breastbone, and extending slightly to either side, more on the left. Lie on your left side, and you must might be able to feel the tip of the heart tap your chest wall near your nipple, especially if you're a healthy fitness type.
