Hard beat: It is very reassuring that your bp and heart rate are normal and if you have no problems with physical exertion. You're describing a sensation of a forceful heart beat but not a disturbance in heart rate or rhythm. You probably are sensitive to small changes in heart rate when changing positions. If you're still concerned get an EKG and wear a heart monitor for 48 hours to rule out abnormalities
