What Causes Palpitations Upon Lying Down?

Hi, my name is Christina and I am very concerned, I seem to be having heart palpitations almost every 2 minutes while I lay down to try to sleep, I have always had problems with this but they are occurring so much more often and consecutively. Please let me know if this is a cause for concern because I am worried that something serious can suddenly come about.

Hello,

Consult a cardiologist and get evaluated.

Serial ECG is required to rule out possible causes like cardiac arrhythmia.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
