I don't have that kind of thing enough to notice. Do you mean everyone has odd heartbeats, but some can only be noticed with instrumentation?

Everyone has odd heartbeats. Only a small minority of them can be noticed without instrumentation. Having an occasional wrenching feeling isn't a sign of pathology, and most people have them. I have them. You can also have sensations in you chest that have nothing to do with arrhythmias.
