If you're not pregnant, will a fetal doppler detect heartbeats from 110-160, and movement, such as thumping sounds, strong winds, etc.

Doppler: If you are not pregnant it will not. The Doppler can pick up your pulse though. I do not know who did the Doppler. IF concerned you should get a repeat pregnancy test and I would see your doctor or ob/gyn provider.
