I'm having a horrible night!!

I swear everytime I bend over or lay on my right side...those darn PVC's come back!!! Why is this okay? What if I didn't stand up straight...or get off my right side?? Is there something else wrong with my body...how can body position change your sinus rhythm??

Mine are the same way! It doesn't happen immediately, it's within minutes of laying down...I've voiced my concern also to my cardio and he just kind of looks the other way...hmmph.....lol.....but usually I'm okay when I lay on my back, hope I just didn't jinx myself (fingers AND even legs are crossed!) I'm 39yrs old but I swear my ticker is always on "it's" last legs....lol
So I guess our next step is to learn how to sleep....standing up!

I used to have the same thing happen when I would turn on to my right side while in bed. Then it switched to my left side after a year or two. Now I get PVC's or PAC's when I lay down in any position. It does'nt happen immediately, but takes 30 seconds to a minute to start. If I have been asleep and wake up, I don't have them for a minute or so, then they come back.  I wonder if they happen when I am asleep but would have to wear a Holter to find out, but my cardiologist is not concerned about it.
