Totally normal. It means that you are alive.

what you are feeling is just your heart beating. Sounds like you're on the thin side, which is making it noticeable. Since you don't have any other symptoms, other than feeling it beat, I would say it is totally normal. If you're concerned, see a cardiologist

Yes that is normal but you must be very skinny to be able to feel between your ribs.

If you have no physical problems, I would assume it may be normal for you. One good way to find out, contact your doctor if you are concerned.
