A member asked:
When i lay down on my right side it feels like my heart skips a beat and i have to catch my breath. what could cause this ? is it serious ?

Probably not: Skipping beats is not uncommon. If you drink caffeine reduce the amount by half. If you smoke, stop smoking. If problem continues, see your doctor.
