I've been noticing this weird thing happening with my heartbeat over the last couple of days. It feels like my heart is beating really strongly, and I can actually see it beating when I look at my chest. Sometimes it even makes the dirt move around me. It doesn't happen all the time, just randomly throughout the day. Could you help me understand why this might be happening and what I should do about it?

This irregular heartbeat may be due to a condition called palpitations. I recommend you to consult a doctor for proper evaluation and diagnosis. In the meantime, you can take a beta-blocker medication like Metoprolol (25-50mg) to help control your heart rate and rhythm. Additionally, try to reduce stress and avoid stimulants like caffeine and nicotine. If the symptoms persist or worsen, seek medical attention promptly.
