Customer question:
When I lie down, my heart breaks - what could this indicate? Anonymous customer's question
Pharmacist's answer:
Feeling that your heart beats faster or irregularly when you lie down can result from various causes.
Some possible causes are as follows:
- Vasovagal reaction: this response of the autonomic nervous system can occur when changing from sitting or standing to lying down. This can lead to a short-term drop in blood pressure and an increase in heart rate.
- Increased workload on the heart: When you lie down, the workload on the heart can change. In some people, this causes the heart to feel faster.
- Anxiety or stress: Psychological factors such as anxiety, panic disorder, or stress can affect your heart rate incredibly when you are relaxing or lying down.
- Heart Arrhythmia: Irregularities in the heart rhythm, called arrhythmias, can cause the heart to feel irregular. This can be especially noticeable at rest or during rest.
- Dehydration: lack of fluids can affect the cardiovascular system and cause the heart to feel pounding.
- Hormonal changes: Hormonal changes, such as those during menstruation or pregnancy, can affect heart rate.
- Thyroid diseases: thyroid disorders, especially hyperthyroidism, can cause an increase in heart rate.
- Cardiac problems: Certain heart conditions, such as cardiac arrhythmias or heart valve disease, can cause heart rhythm abnormalities.
