Sleep isn't restful when sleeping on my left side

Posted , 2 users are following.

I only get restful sleep when sleeping on my right-hand side.  If I sleep on my left-hand side, I still sleep but don't wake up feeling rested... Anyone have any ideas on what this may be?  I'm thinking it may be heart-related since sleeping on my right-hand side gives me restful sleep...

    Its supposed to be the best side to sleep on, the left, I used to most of my life. Now though I get bad palpitations sleeping on my left, I can feel my heart flopping against something. So I sleep on my right and suffer acid indigestion instead!
