When sleeping on left side get pain in heart...heart disease?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
No: Sleeping on your left side may cause you to be more aware of your heart beating but wouldn't cause heart pain or injury. As an aside, one study showed sleeping on your left side is beneficial for brain metabolic activity during sleep.
