A member asked:
Obesity, weight loss success with healthy diet and exercise: is it normal for heart to beat stronger through chest wall so much to see heart beating motion through shirts? or feeling a stronger heart beat when laying down? is this due to fat loss?

Cardiac point of maximal impulse (PMI) is not easy to visualize even in a male chest so I do not think what you have observed is normal if you truly see that. We can observe the chest or breasts moving up and down with breathing but not the heart beats. You should see your family doctor if you have any doubt.
