Beating L breast: 53 F from WA notes fluttering pulsing she can see beneath L Breast. Assuming not a muscle twitch. Most likely heart pulsating beneath L breast. This can be seen normally in thin people when lying down or esp if lying on left side. Some may even be able to feel the heart beat here by putting right hand over the spot and turn to the left. Ask Dr to look/feel PMI point of maximal impulse of heart.

Seek Medical examina: This flutter/pulsation like feeling could be coming from your heart which can produce extra beats(Ectopic heart beats). This can be picked up on an EKG if it is frequent or you may need a Holter monitor test. but before anything can be done, you should get a medical examination done by your doctor.
