A member asked:

I'm laying down and i can feel my heart beating fast it's 85bpm is that normal?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Yes that's normal: 85 Bpm is normal. A fast heart rate is over 100 BPM and we call this tachycardia. Regarding hearing/feeling your heart rate it is completely normal to hear/feel when you are lying down in a quiet room. Your Ok :)
