Hello!
With the problem "Heart palpitations and chest pain when lying down", the doctor would like to answer as follows:
The heart rate in a normal person is from 60-100 times/minute. When your heart rate exceeds 100 times per minute, there may be symptoms of palpitations, heart palpitations. The causes of this condition are quite diverse, from thyroid disease, anemia and more dangerous, cardiovascular disease. I should go to the doctor for more testing and advice.
Thank you for your question to Vinmec Health System, looking forward to meeting you in person for more specific advice. Best regards!
