A member asked:

If i fall asleep in the chair in the lr and i wake maybe 1/2 hour later my heart immediately starts to pound is that normal?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Not usually: You may have obstructive sleep apnea. If you have the problem each time you sleep or have snoring an evaluation for sleep apnea with a sleep study may be in order.
