What Treatment Is Suggested To Ease The Sound Of Heart Beat Which Has Moved Towards Rib Cage?
When I was 16 I had a collapsed lung that pushed my heart over enough that you could hear it beating on my rib cage. I am now 53. When I lie down in bed and exhale through my mouth you can hear my heartbeat. At first I thought it must just be in my ears but I recorded it and you can hear it as plain as day. It sounds like a wheeze that is a heartbeat. It only happens when I lie down. You can hear it with my mouth closed but not as well. This started after I had BOOP.

please clarify whether you are asking about abnormal sensation of heart beat ( palpitation ) or wheezing. if you are having palpitation due to a collapsed lung nothing much can be done about it. if you are having wheezing , bronchodilators and inhalers help
