A member asked:

I can feel a heartbeat in my stomach and not my chest and my stomach hurts!?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Happens: Your normal heart rests on your diaphragm and some people perceive their heart beat better in their abdomen. If you have a stomach ache, please see your doctor for further evaluation.
