Heart Concern
Hi,
I would like to know if I have reason to be concerned and need to visit my doctor or if I'm being paranoid.
For the last couple of days I'll be sitting watching TV or reading a book and it feels like my heart wants to jump out my chest. It's like someone is knocking on the inside. Is this a heart murmur or palpitations or something else.
Do I need to have it checked.
