A member asked:
Sometimes if i was still sleeping& i wake up i have a sensation of flipping or fluttering i don't know if it is in my heart or stomach.why?

Fluttering: It could be heart palpitations that you feel upon awakening as the sympathetic nervous system, which excites the heart and raises the blood pressure, is active in the early AM hours gearing up for activity.. If you're able, check your pulse to determine whether your heart rate is more rapid than usual when you experience this symptom. Wearing a heart monitor can do this for you. ?Discuss with MD
