Heart palpitations feel like clicking?

Not sure if what I’m experiencing are heart palpitations or not. It feels like a click in the centre of my chest. Only lasts a second or two. More obvious when moving position or twisting round.

I can’t find a description of palpitations that feel like a click. Just wondered if anyone had experienced similar? Don’t want to bother GP if he’s going to look at me like I’m a crazy person.

The clicking is quite persistent at the moment but I still can’t tell if it’s my heart or not.

could it be ectopic heartbeats?

Not sure. It just seems odd that they happen when I move. Rolling over in bed etc and I can’t see anyone else describe palpitations as a clicking.

I can't help you with what it might be but I've definitely had this before so you're not going mad!

Is it a one off click? Is it your heart or a catch when you breath?

I often have a wierd feeling when I lie on my left side in bed. Hard to describe, like getting a regular flick from the inside?? Not painful just odd. It makes me move. Don't think I have any heart problems.

It feels a bit like how it feels to click a computer mouse but in my chest. It’s not catching when I breathe. Seems to release some kind of tension when I move. It lasts less than a second. But today it has happened quite a bit and once or twice when not moving. I just don’t want to ask doctor about my computer mouse clicking chest. Blush

Small muscle spasm?

TheSparklyPussycat hmm could be. I’ve been experiencing muscle spasms in other muscles.

Could it be Precordial catch syndrome

Or slipping rib

Costochodral joints can make these noises

DoggyPaulAnka · 18/01/2020 01:06

It’s completely painless. Not sure if that rules out the catch thing. It’s keeping me awake now because every time I roll over I feel this annoying click. Gggrrr

I get a similar thing. It's like a clicking near to the bottom of sternum. I have had issues with costochondral separation though so might be that, don't know if it is.

I always imagine it like to small clackers clicking together.

CareyFairy · 18/01/2020 01:13

I don't get any pain either.
