A member asked:
What's it mean if i have a feeling of a heart beat in my upper back while i lay down or if i'm sitting up or standing?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Heart beat in back: Means you are hypersensitive to being able to feel you heart beat. Probably normal but ask Dr. to listen over the area.
