Can you help me understand if it's normal for me to actually see my chest and stomach move with my heartbeat? I've never noticed this before and it's kind of freaking me out. I've had an ECG and my heart rate checked, and they were both normal. What's going on here?

It is normal to see some movement in the chest and stomach with each heartbeat, especially in individuals with a thinner body build. This is known as the cardiac impulse. Since your ECG is normal and heart rate is also normal, there is likely no cause for concern. Just continue to monitor any changes in your symptoms.

I'm a bit worried about my recent ECG results. It says I have a normal sinus rhythm but also an incomplete right bundle branch block and that its borderline ECG. Is this something serious I should be concerned about? I've done an ECG twice now, and I'm attaching both for your review. Could you help me understand what this means for my health?
