A member asked:
Could this be a heart problem? i am 22 and when i lie down my heart beats very hard. it makes me cough at times and short of breathe. is it anxiety?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
See below: Coughing when laying down can be secondary to acid reflux or GERD. Do you have history of palpitations? You should see your doctor and get a baseline ECG / Holter monitor if there's a concern about your heart beating faster. Limit your coffee, soda, energy drinks intake.
