A member asked:
What does it mean if my upper arm is twitching and i have an increased heart rate while laying down?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Coincidental?: Doesn't sound like a common scenario. Excessive (especially forceful) movement will raise the heart rate but would not be expected to be limited to recumbency. It should occur during the movements regardless of position.
