A member asked:
Why does my heart beat fast when i am doing nothing. it seems to do it more when i lay down or are relaxing and i also get shaky hands and legs?

Count it: The question here is: is your heart primarily beating out of rhythm or reacting to something else? Your shaky hands and legs, for instance, raises the question of low blood sugar (1 example) which would cause your heart to beat in the 100-160 range. If your pulse is 180 or above, it's a primary rhythm problem. A heart rhythm monitor (24 or 48 hour or 30 day) could sort this out as well.
