HEART PAIN WHILE SLEEPING ON YOUR LEFT SIDE

ANDY -

I HAVE HAD THE SAME PROBLEN (OFF AND ON) FOR 50 YEARS.  NUMEROUS CARDIOLOGISTS TESTS HAVE NOT FOUND A PROBEM.   IF I CAN GET A SERIES OF BURPS UP, IT OFTEN RELEVES THE PAIN.  TRY ACID REFLUX AND ANTI-ACID ITEMS ALONG WITH  A LOT OF WATER..  IT USUALLY HELPS ME, SOMETIMES ENOUGH TO SLEEP ON MY LEFT SIDE.  MY WIFE ALSO OCCASIONALLY EXPERIENCES THE SAME (LEFT SIDE) PROBEM.  

MY EXPERIENCE IS THAT THE HEART PAIN WHILE SLEEPING ON THE LEFT SIDE ISSUE IS RELATED TO TRAPPED GAS PUTING PRESSURE ON NERVES IN THE LEFT SIDE CHEST/HEART AREA.  ON OCCASION, I HAVE ALSO FELT IT SLIGHTLY WHEN BENDING OVER SHARPLY AT THE WAIST.

I don't know about your heart rate issue (ASSUMING THAT IT IS NOT SERIOUS), except to suggest that it may be stress & fear of heart trouble expectation related.

BEST REGARDS,

RANDY
