Hello,
It is an entirely normal phenomenon and no need to worry about it. In medical term, the thing which you feel is called as apical impulse. Normally it's palpable. Stop worrying about the heart and do regular exercises, relaxation techniques like yoga and deep breathing exercises.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
