Is It Common For Heart To Make Strange Sounds?
Sometimes when I lay down, my heart area makes weird noises and feels kind of weird. It makes a kind of gurgletype of sound. Its been kind of randomly doing this for years, but it has been doing it a bit more often lately. Is this a serious issue, or is it just some kind of common thing?

HI,
heart is not known to make gurgling sounds. It must be sound of stomch while the food is being digested/indigestion or infection giving rise to gases in stmoach ,when you lie down is mistaken for heart sound.
- You can add digestive enzymes after food,Avoid sleeping immediately after eating.
- In case it's a regular thing to occur,
- Check your stools for any infection/infestation with worms & get treatment accordingly with a doctor's advice
thanks.
