Heavy Heart Beat at Night

I sleep on my stomach.. am relatively thin.
Some nights I can feel my heart beating through my chest, stomach and
pillow. Nothing fast or irregular.. Just the sound. Other nights nada.

What causes this. It is almost like a heavier sound.

I also feel the heartbeat. I can usually eliminate the sensation by
changing my position. It is felt mostly when I sleep on my right side.
I do not feel it when I am on my back and only slightly on my left side
.. Try raising your ear off the pillow to see if you still feel the
sensation. I believe much of it is coming via the ear.

I hear my heartbeat at night, too. It's annoying when I can't sleep
and hear a too rapid beat. It's no problem when I go to sleep
normally - try shifting your position in bed, etc.
