Does anyone else hate listening to heartbeats?

[Anonymous]

Okay so it absolutely grosses me out when I hear mine or someone else's heartbeat. If I'm laying on someone's chest I must have a pillow or something In between. I also don't like it if I'm laying down & can feel/hear my own. Is anyone else like this?

[harakiri]

i like it. i also like it when i can see my pulse through my skin. kinda freaky, but cool. i often measure my parents' blood pressures using a sphygmomanometer so i'm quite used to hearing heart beats. my dad has a slight heart murmur which is quite fascinating to listen to. beat. beat. whoooosh. beat. beat. whoooosh.

I feel the opposite actually. It's not like... a weird fetish or anything, but I find heartbeats to be kind-of soothing. And I don't know what it is, I just like listening to heartbeats.

I love to hear others heartbeats. I don't like to hear mine very much and I don't know why.

It is when you can't hear the heartbeat you better worry ;-)

Try being around someone with a mechanical valve (a metal valve that replaced a defective valve). You can hear that ticking from across the room.

I'd get out of that room as fast as I can... & I avoid my heartbeat & others

[Red_Arrow]

Better hope you never need a valve replacement. Hard to run away from yourself.

[Asker]

By the time I'd need one i hope they have better options

[Red_Arrow]

There are tissue valves from either cows or pig (or both), I can't remember which. Those don't make noise, but the have to be replaced every so often (10 years?)

[Asker]

Well then that would be the way to go. Unless they have some futuristic fancy thing when I need one.

[Red_Arrow]

Honestly, I hope you never need one. There are so many side problems with heart difficulties.

[Asker]

Honestly, I hope I never need one because I would annoy myself so badly if I had a mechanical one & it means I have health issues.

[Red_Arrow]

We all get health problems as we age, some serious, some not so. Just try to eat well, exercise, etc. and hope for the least problems.

[Asker]

Already am. Thank you for your opinion.

It's weird because it's like one of the only things you can't control in your body..

[Asker]

Maybe that's why, because I can't control it if it stops or something.

[Alexious]

Yeah, it's scary to think at any point something could happen.. :O

[sammy_31]

No I don't hate listening to heartbeats, I think it's pretty neat and interesting :)

[R3d_Anonymous]

I actually like it.

Wait, what if you had a boyfriend? Would you be okay listening to his heartbeat?

[Asker]

I wouldn't listen to it on purpose

[RedThread]

Not particularly but I don't like those heart monitor things at hospitals. I remember watching that thing 24/7 when my sister was in the hospital because it drove me mad.
