IF i suck in my stomach I can see my heart beating right below my sternum. IS this normal?


Question:
I have had a rib broken on my left side before in the same area on my left side. Never wnet to a doctor before.

Answers:
Depending on your build it could be very normal for you. If you are very skinny and not muscular it would be possible to see your "heartbeat." (You're not really seeing your heart, but the tissues your heart is pressing against).

If you are of a regular build then you shouldn't be able to see this phenomenon and should consult a physician.

Sounds normal to me.

no and pretty impossible
It's normal. I've seen it before.
Most likely you are seeing the pulsations of your aorta, the big artery that runs down inside your abdomen and feeds blood to your kidneys, liver,etc. and to your legs and feet

check with your doctor if you are over 40 years old or have back pain with it.
