Recently a few times when i am lying on my bed trying to sleep or waking up from my sleep, my heart beats strongly. do i have a heart problem?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
No, unless: it happens frequently (10/minute) or continuously (multiple in a row before stopping). They are likely benign, ventricular or atrial premature beats which we all experience.
