What Do Palpitations At Base Of Neck While Lying Down Suggest?
Question: Hello Doctor thank you
I am experiencing palpitations at the base of my neck. The only generally noticeable only when I lay down. In addition when I lay on my left side I can feel what I think is a ship in my heart beat.
I am not faint or other wise in pain. I do not feel short of breath.
In my job I sit most of the day at the computer and I do not get enough exercise. However, I do eat rather well and avoid generally foods that increase risks. I am 5'6" tall and I weight about 185 lbs. Slightly over weight but I am sill well proportioned for my age.
Do you have an observation for me about my condition?
Thank you for taking the time to answer my question.
