Accepted Answer

: Full badder? Pee before you stretch to see.

Question 2

when i stretch in the morning why does my heart beat faster ?

Accepted Answer

: Assuming you were sedentary beforehand, the stretching is an increase in your physical activity which would increase your heart rate.

Question 3

is it normal for your heart beat to not be hard when relaxing ?

Accepted Answer

Yes: When you're relaxing, your heartbeat certainly continues.  But it won't be pounding like it might be during heavy physical activity.

Question 4

random irregular hard heart beat, dizziness, an seeing stars happens when sitting, standing, or just relaxing?

Accepted Answer

Numerous causes: Palpitations can be caused by extra early beats from either the top or bottom of the heart. They may also be due to a very fast heart rhythm. Sometimes the sensation of palpitation is not due to the heart, but to other causes such as stress.  Fatigue, caffeine, drugs, and  metabolic problems such as too high of a thyroid level can be a cause.  An event monitor can be helpful to find out the cause.

Question 5

when i stand up it becomes hard for me to breathe and i feel like im not getting enough air and my heart beats faster?

Accepted Answer

: Sounds like an issue with circulation, but I am not sure without examining you. Please see a doctor

Question 6

heart beats hard once then is normal.happening once or twice randomly everyday for past 3 wks.holter test 2 yrs back was normal.should i be concerned?

Accepted Answer

No, but: A holter from 2 years ago is of absolutely no value to you now. Why not repeat the holter now since you have daily symptoms? Arrhythmias are much easier to assess when you have hard copy documentation of their type.

Question 7

hi, i'm getting weird, super quick heart beat like sensation inot my lower right side. it feels hard to the touch and is uncomfortable but not painful?

Accepted Answer

Rapid heart beat: Please see your doctor.  It could be medical or panic but you need to know what is happening and then it can be treated and you will have peace of mind.  Peace and good health.

Question 8

my heart beats hard when i stand up after sitting for a very long time...
it also beats same pace for a very long time when ilie down..
yet am totally normal and healthy my bpm is ok and bp is also ok.. should i be worried?

Accepted Answer

Hard beat: It is very reassuring that your bp and heart rate are normal and if you have no problems with physical exertion.  You're describing a sensation of a forceful heart beat but not a disturbance in heart rate or rhythm. You probably are sensitive to small changes in heart rate when changing positions. If you're still concerned get an EKG and wear a heart monitor for 48  hours to rule out abnormalities

Question 9

why could someone's heart beat really hard?

Accepted Answer

Many reasons: There are many reasons for having "hard" heart beats. Some of these are abnormal and some of these just indicate increased heart awareness. Some can be due to irregular beats, fast beats, skipped beats or problems with hormones or electrolytes or psychological issues. It is worth getting these checked out by a health care provider. Tell your doctor about this for a thorough evaluation.

Question 10

heart beats slow and hard when standing up, then beats fast?

Accepted Answer

Normal: This is a normal physiologic response as the blood tends to move toward your feet when you stand up.  Your heart compensates by increasing the strength of the contraction and/or increasing the heart rate.  If it is uncomfortable or you experience lightheadedness it may indicate that you are a little dehydrated.
