Why do i have bad heart palpitations whenever i am drifting off to sleep at night?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Because its quiet.: Palpitation usually aren't really more frequent at night, just more noticeable. When you lay down and are still and quiet, the irregular heart beats are often more noticeable.
