What Causes Palpitations On Right Side Towards Rib Cage?
I have palpitations on my right side toward the bottom of my rib cage. When I put my hand on it, about an inch below my breast, I can feel the bumping. I imagine it's what a baby kicking would feel like. I've been feeling it for the last two days. Should I be worried?

hi,
if you don't have any other associated symptoms, its not that serious to bother about.
In rare cases, there are people whose heart rests in right side, in that case they have feeling of heart beating in right side, and other features to. In most of people who don't have any other complains, live happily with such abnormalities, and lead a normal life.
In your case, if you feel heart beat even in left side, then need not to worry either. Though it is always advised to discuss it with primary physician to rule out any problems.
Regards
