What Causes Heart Palpitations When Under Stress?
I’ve just recently started feeling heart palpatations in my chest, right below my sternum but not where my heart is which is why I am concerned. They randomly occur when standing and occur when lying on my right side but stop when I lay flat on my back. It lasts for about a second or two. I only drink water so I know it’s not caffeine related and i dont believe it’s stressed considering I’ve been more stressed than what I am now and they did not occur those other times.

Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service. I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.
After going through your medical query I understand your concern for your health and I would like to tell you that heart rate is ever changing phenomena depending on your activity level, stress or physiological changes. Predominantly your symptoms are stress related so try to keep calm or take over the counter anxiolytic drugs to relief the symptoms.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
