A member asked:

Please advise if it's normal for your heart to suddenly skip irregularly when you lay down?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Skipping: Heart skipping when you lay down isn't normal but isn't necessarily a problem that needs treatment. If it happens regularly, it would be reasonable to consult your doctor to see if something is going on.
