I can feel my heartbeat through my whole body, is the normal?

Since losing weight after surgery last year I began to feel my heartbeat about 3 inches to the left(my left) of my bellybutton. When I would lay at night it seemed to beat through my whole body and I would have to try to find a position where it wasn't so strong. Since then I feel it practically all the time in fact if I am wearing a snug fitting shirt I can actually see it. The one night my hubby woke me to make sure I was okay because he could hear it. I was laying on my belly and it seemed to be echoing through the mattress. I asked my doctor about it a few months ago, she did not even check it she just said it was probably some sort of echo from losing weight(does that make sense at all?) and not to worry about it. If anyone has had this of heard of it I would appreciate any advice. Thanks Debbie
