The heart thumping once lying down is considered to be related to physiological heart rate increase, arrhythmia, myocardial ischemia, etc. If the symptoms persist, it is necessary to improve the examination to clarify the cause.
After lying down, the body position changes, blood redistribution, cardiac preload increases, which can lead to increased heart rate, resulting in heart thumping, but usually the symptoms are relatively mild.
Some people due to late night, mental stress, a lying down can appear transient premature heartbeat, feel the heart thumping, the symptoms can usually be quickly relieved, do not have to worry. If the symptoms can not be relieved repeatedly, it is recommended to consult a doctor, improve the electrocardiogram, dynamic electrocardiogram examination, to understand whether there is an arrhythmia. In addition, it is necessary to exclude hyperthyroidism, rheumatoid artery disease, fever and other diseases.
Older people need to determine whether there is a combination of coronary heart disease, hypertensive heart disease, diabetes or heart failure and other cardiovascular diseases. This is because panic attacks in older people are a sign of myocardial ischemia. It is recommended to improve the electrocardiogram, 24-hour dynamic electrocardiogram, cardiac ultrasound examination, to understand the function of the heart, and to clarify whether there is any cardiac insufficiency.
