Hi all, I'm new here and I've suffered from health anxiety all my life.
I'm a 20 year old female and I first noticed I could see my heart beat when I was 17 and while I was lying on the couch I could see my whole stomach move to th rhythm of my heartbeat and later discovered that I could see the same thing in my left breast. It seriously freaks me out. In terms of my heart though I haven't noticed any other symptoms and I measure my heart rate continually and it's always normal/healthy when at rest. Why does it do this? I have googled this (which yes I know I shouldn't do, but it's what we hypochondriacs do best) and I found some scary things such as AAA could cause the stomach to pulsate. But then it's also visible in my breast.
Is this normal and have any of you experienced this? Mine is like this 24/7 even if I am not at all anxious although it is more visible when I'm anxious or after I exercise. I think I'm going to make a doctors appointment even if it's just for some peace of mind, even though I feel I would still be anxious even if they told me it was completely normal. Thanks for any answers I get so scared about this :(
