What Causes Palpitations While On Blood Pressure Medication?
I have had a heart attack about 12 years ago and a stroke about 2 years ago. I notice that when I am laying down my heart rate speeds up and slows down but my concern is it wakes me up sometimes. Should I call my Dr. My heart rate is usually 68 or below but it jumps to 100 sometimes. My blood pressure is 120/62. It varies some. I take blood pressure medicine.
