According to the National Library of Medicine: “Palpation is a method of feeling with the fingers or hands during a physical examination. The health care provider touches and feels your body to examine the size, consistency, texture, location, and tenderness of an organ or body part.”

“Palpitations are feelings or sensations that your heart is pounding or racing. They can be felt in your chest, throat, or neck…The heart’s rhythm may be normal or abnormal when you have palpitations.”
