A member asked:

The feeling u get when ur on an elevator like ur heart drops to ur stomach what could cause that when all ur doing is laying in bed?

A doctor has provided 1 answer
Dr. Calvin Weisberger answered

Feeling: The likelihood is you feel an extra heart beat but can't be sure. Extrasystoles are not a risk, they can be annoying however.
