This is a strange one. I have been getting palpitations (my heart races incredibly fast for about 15 beats) when I quickly lay down (for example, if I get up in the night to get a drink, when I lay back down this will happen)
Anybody know what the connection could be here? I have no other noticeable symptoms. Thank you

"positional tachycardia".
It's a thing.
I guess nobody really understands it, but it has a name!

Thanks! But I believe positional tachycardia is an increased heart rate when getting up quickly. My issue is specifically when lying down (the opposite)
