How do u know if your heart is beating properly?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
It is unclear if you: are asking about your heart rate and rhythm or the heart's function. Your heart is probably functioning properly if you are alive and breathing and mentating. If you mean the rate and rhythm then take your pulse and it should be regular between 60 and 100 beats per minute at rest. Ideally see your health care provider and have an examination for reassurance.
