Why do doctors knock on your stomach?
This is to make sure nothing is too tender, too big, or too firm. Along with the tummy-touching, a doctor will want to examine your skin, the shape of your abdomen, and how it moves as you breathe in and out. The doctor will probably also listen to the abdomen, as some bowel problems can be heard with a stethoscope.
Can doctors hear irregular heartbeat?
Your doctor can listen for fluttering while listening to your heart with a stethoscope. You may also need a test that records your heart’s rhythms, like an ECG, which you have in your doctor’s office, or a Holter monitor that you wear around for a day.
