What Causes Throbbing Sensation In Heart?
Good Evening, I am curious about an uncomfortable throbbing sensation in my heart (to the rhythm of my heart) after exercise (not during). It is not a pain but almost. I have had it for years and it is, I think, getting more pronounced but very slowly. A curious feature is that it will disappear for a few seconds when I shift my weight from one foot to another. If I am standing, it can last a few minutes. It is not there if I sit down. I don t think it is angina. In parenthesis, I am one of those persons who feels every heartbeat under normal circumstances.

Hello there. I read through your question and understand that you are having palpitations. Now palpitations can be due to anxiety or It can be due to cardiac causes. To rule out any cardiac cause I would suggest you to get an EKG done. I hope that answers your question. If you have any further questions please feel free to contact.
