A member asked:
I can feel my heart beat strongly ( mostly while trying to sleep) and have noticed a pop in my chest when taking a deep breath, or while stretching.?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
This can be normal.: A strong heart beat is normal in an otherwise healthy 30 y/o person. When you take a deep breath, you increase blood flow to the heart and this may be perceived as a pop sensation. If your feel your heart skips a beat, or your pulse is greater than 100, on a routine basis, you may want to seek the advice of a primary care doctor and have your thyroid checked. Best wishes.

I get a tightness in my chest making it feel difficult to breath, usually exercise such as walking worsens it and causes it to be even harder to breath. The discomfort makes it difficult to sleep. Feels like my heart's being squeezed.
