A member asked:
My heart beats fast in an annoying way whenever i yawn or stretch , is that normal ?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Unusual but...: The thorax has baroreceptors, small sensors that are sensitive to stretch. Any activity that changes the intrathoracic pressure can alter heart rate to some degree. So, strange it seems but not otherworldly!
