You hear your heart beat when you want to fall asleep
“Some patients with a loud faulty valve can even hear the sound of their valve at night when they are trying to fall asleep,” Dr. Miller says. And while some patients adjust to the sound and often just change their sleeping position so as not to hear it, doesn’t mean you should ignore it.
Tell your doctor, because a pounding heartbeat can also be a sign of low blood pressure, low blood sugar, anemia, medication, dehydration, and other causes.
