What Causes Unusual Heart Beats When Lying Down?

At night when I lay down on a certain side my heart beat alot harder. It forces me to switch sides. It also happens when i am just laying down but not as often. Is this a problem? I have had my heart checked out before and they said it beats slowly but it is nor al because I am physically active(exercise, workout etc.)

Cardiologist 's  Response
Hello,

Regarding your concern, I would explain that your symptoms could be related to your body constitution. You should know that this is quite normal in tall and thin persons.

Anyway, I would recommend performing a cardiac ultrasound in order to examine your heart function and structure.

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

Regards,
Dr. Ilir Sharka,
