It's your heart: Pumping. Most commonly notice at night when sleeping on your side. Hope it's not giving you problems sleeping. If yes, try white noise techniques. Ocean sounds.

Hi, Since a week ago, I noticed that I can hear a beat sound (like a fast heart rate) when I am in bed with my ear on the pillow. Seems to be a faster beat than my heart rate and I stop hearing it as soon as I change the position of my head. Thank?
