What Causes Hard Heart Beats When Lying On Left Side?

hi, I noticed the last two weeks that when I lay on my left side, my heartbeat is hard and I can feel it. Do you know what causes this? I just had blood tests for my annual physical and they were all normal. I did come down with a cold a few days after I started noticing this

Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service. I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.

If all your reports were normal then there is nothing to worry for. When we lie down on the left side our heart come close to the chest wall cavity due to which beats are felt more stronger than usual.

Don’t worry just relax it’s a normal process.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
