It can be considered: normal. You probably notice it isn't necessarily all the time..but occasionally one feels spontaneous pulsations. Usually this is when your heart is beating more forcefully or rapidly..when exercising or under stress. It can also happen when you are quiet and still and not distracted by other things. The hand and leg are a little unusual; if it progresses (more places/more often), talk to your doc
