Hello, To answer your query I need to know about you built whether it is lean and thin or Heavy built. Now in supine position in lean and thin person heart beat or apex beat can be felt or heard. Sometimes this can occur normally in many individuals during anxiety and fear. Considering your complaint I would advice you to get your blood pressure, ECG done. These palpitations are may be due to raised blood pressure. Consult your physician for this at the earliest. Regards, Be happy make happy.
