I am feeling a heart beat in my left rib cage for a split second when i sit down and it keeps occuring. is this normal?

Possibly PVCs: These may be PVCs, or "premature ventricular contractions". If you have any other symptoms associated with this (chest pain, shortness of breath, dizziness, fainting) or if this persists, I would recommend that you be seen by your doctor as this could be an arrhythmia (abnormal rhythm of the heart).
