When lying on your left side it's not at all unusual to feel your heart beating as it lies near the left rib cage. When up & around it's unusual to feel it beating. Do you have a rapid pulse? High blood pressure? Heart murmur? Overactive thyroid? Anxiety? Take drugs? Ask your MD to do more testing for peace of mind.

Cardiac anxiety is my first guess. Need to know what u mean by skinny and weighing 170 lbs. If you are 6 feet or more tall then you are likely just noting your own heart which is often the case in think folks.
