When i'm lying in the bed i can see my heart beating, my dad and my grandma had an enlarged heart... is there any probability that i have that too?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
It is not unusual to: be able to see or feel your heart beating. This does not mean you have cardiac enlargement. Certainly with your family history and your concerns it would be reasonable to be evaluated by a health care professional to reassure you. Make an appointment soon.
