A member asked:
Is it normal to feel heart palpitations or heart skip beat/pause when laying on left side (side of heart) i only notice some when i'm in this position?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes: If you lay on your left side, your heart actually sits right on your chest wall, and it is much easier to feel/sense your heartbeat, which might have occasional skipped beats.
