A member asked:
When i go to sleep, i can feel my heartbeat in my ear that is against the pillow. and sometimes in my stomach. not rapid pulse. is this normal?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes!: frequent concern I hear about at least once a week. Physicians call it "cardiac awareness". No one knows why/when it occurs. If not rapid I wouldn't worry about it.
