A member asked:

What exactly does it mean if when i lay down i can feel my heart beating in my right ear ?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Common occurrence : Specially at night whole in bed when not many things going on and you are more aware of your body. If bother you try creating sounds that relax you. Ocean, water running.
