Hi and thank you for asking!
I read your query and understood your concerns.
What you are experiencing most likely is associated with palpitations which are felt more while the patients are laying down.
However if you were my patients I would recommend to do the following examinations to find out what is causing your symptoms:
- Blood work
- ECG
- Cardiac echo
- Holter monitoring
- Stress test
Hope this will be of help!
