Specializes in Internal Medicine

Very common: Usually not a sign of a significant problem. Changing position usually helps. Be sure to get your blood pressure checked to be sure that is not an issue.

A member asked:

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?
