What Causes Pulsating Feeling In Heart?
I have afib however bp and heart rate are very normal at this time (not in afib now). For the past 3 days I have had a pulsating feeling, (almost like the palpitations I feel in my chest from time to time) under my left ribs. Within the last 3 months I ve had several ekg s all normal (and in sinus rhythm), a great looking echocardiagram (I have mitral valve prolapse). If there are valve issues they are considered mild according to the last echo (done in April). Great job with treadmill test done in April as well. Arteries in the neck...perfect. Not quite sure what is going on.

hi
mitral valve prolapse itself is the reason for the palpitations
MVP with good left ventricular function is not to worry.
if the palpitations are too frequent you can meet the cardiologist to start on betablockers to control the palpitations.
take care
