why do i sometimes feel my heartbeat on different parts of the body?

If you mean why does it feel as if your heart is beating in your head or hand or foot, etc?  Well sometimes when your blood pressure changes the added intensity of flow will cause your extremity to "beat" but it is just your blood moving through your arteries and each "beat" is a surge of blood.  It happens when you have been exercising, get excited, have a sudden bust of adrenaline or even if your circulation was temporarily cut off and it has recently been restarted (like when you sit on your foot or cross your legs).\n\n\nIts nothing to worry about unless it happens a lot.  If it happens often you could have hypertension and should ask your doctor about it.

People experience a variety of symptoms when having a heart attack.  Some describe the pain as being in the middle of their chest and "crushing, squeezing, tight, pressure, or burning". Others say the pain is on the right or left side of the chest.  Sometimes the pain is excruciating and sometimes it husrts "just a little". Sometimes it extends to one or both arms, the jaw, or between the shoulder blades.  Alot of people get short of breath, nauseous, sweaty.  Some people have every single one of these symptoms, some have only one or two.  Women are more likely than men to have atypical symptoms, i.e., maybe they're a little nauseous, or their back hurts or their arm feels funny, making it difficult for them to realize it is a cardiac problem and they need to call 911....I hope this answers your question.

Hi, Claude - Hopefully I can clarify some of the misconceptions on here.  Under ordinary circumstances, when a person is at rest, there is very little variation in the time interval from one heartbeat to the next.  Sometimes, the heart rate can become somewhat irregular.  There are several reasons why this can happen including premature beats (which are almost always very benign), heart block (sometimes benign, sometimes more problematic), and atrial fibrillation (which can put patients at risk for strokes).  As you can see, it is impossible to say whether your irregular heart rate is dangerous without knowing which of these arrhythmias you may be having.  The way to make the diagnosis is to check an EKG or, if your symptoms come and go, have you wear a Holter monitor or event monitor to capture these episodes.  I recommend that you see your doctor about this so that he/she can tell you whether the irregular heart rate needs to be addressed.  Good luck!

Is it recent or has it always happened?  Does it happen all the time or once and a while?  It depends on these answers.  It may be hormones or it maybe slight depression or maybe some imbalance in the rest of your body.  You might want to go to the doctor for a regular check up just in case.

Yes, It is perfectly normal, It happens to me a lot. It's where your body needs to move or when you feel really happy/ excited.

You may have PSVT which is a fast heart rate. It is very annoying and is scary when you feel it. It is treatable though. Do you drink /eat a lot of caffiene? (Cokes, tea coffee, chocolate?) Ask your doctor to put a Holter Monitor on you and see if anything shows up there. It is a 24 hour monitor you wear and it monitors your heart.  Good luck!

when ur in pain the brain sends "stress hormones" to the body, ur heart beats faster as a reaction to the signal. think of ur heart (and other organs) as a life support for the brain.

Gravity!  the heart works harder to pump blood when you are standing!

This answer really depends on your age, sex and risk factors.  If you are young <35 its probably nothing serious but could be your thyroid, panic attack or rarely a heart problem.  If you are older, obese, smoke etc it could be a sign of something more serious in the heart and should be further evaluated by a doctor.  Bottom line if you have already been evaluated by a doctor and had a normal EKG its probably nothing but if you are still nervous you can ask for an event monitor.

No, this is not uncommon at all. When you sustain any type of injury, your heart beats faster and as a result, you start to sweat. This happens more often with blood wounds, because typically when you bleed, or see blood, your heart tends to beat faster then say, if you bruised your knee or something. So it's not "gross or rank", you just have a very up-to-speed heart. Hope this helps!

angina usually occurs in people who are older (50 years and above), meaning your heart is not getting enough oxygen to do its job. If you've had pains in the last month before experiencing  a pressing sensation near the center of your chest, then it probably is Angina.

Could be heart arrhythmia, irregular heart beat which is usually begnine.  If you are very worried you should consult your doctor.

I have heart disease and my heart used to beat really fast, almost like I had a double heart beat (it's called a "flutter").  I would ask your doctor about it and see if they can send you to a heart specialist.  Heart disease can be a major problem if it's not treated right away.  \n\nYou might have arrythmia or tachycardia or it could be a panic attack, those aren't any fun either.  I would talk to your doctor.  He would know for sure.

Have you had any panic attacks? \n-Sweating\n-Shaking\n-Racing thoughts\n-Choking feeling\n-Trouble breathing\n-Racing heart beat\n\nYou might...talk to your doctor about it.  If you feel constantly in anxeity there could be a deeper root or you could be developing or have anxeity disorder.  Call your doctor and talk to him about it

A rhythm of the body.

I assume you are a full-fledged adult. That pulse rate is high at rest. get to see your doctor, especially about the pain on exercise. You could be having myocardial ischemia or angina pectoris. Your doctor will have you do an EKG done to evaluate this.
