#17: Heart’s Flutter
Have you ever had those moments when you realize no one around you is experiencing the same thing? This storyteller had one of those exact moments when they tried to describe the sensation of feeling their heart beating. It turns out, not everyone can feel their heartbeat for a few seconds after experiencing a heart palpitation. This unique ability to feel heartbeats after palpitations highlights the individuality of sensory experiences and how they can vary widely among people.
They once asked their colleagues, “You know when your heart does that fluttery sensation, and it’s like you can feel it beating for a few seconds?” To their surprise, no one could relate to what they were describing. This stark contrast in perception prompted them to consider seeking medical advice, just to ensure that their fluttering heart wasn’t indicative of any underlying health concern.
