Bluebonnet08 Posted June 4, 2018 Report Share Posted June 4, 2018 Has anyone else noticed that their heart rate is influenced by how they are laying in the bed? Maybe I watching my HR too closely now, but since I've been post-partum, when I lie on my left side, my HR drops 8-10pts lower than it does when I lie on my right side. Does this happen to anyone else and what is the reason why? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Debbie Rose Posted June 4, 2018 Report Share Posted June 4, 2018 Somewhere in my memory of anatomy I seem to recall that it has to do with the position of the major blood vessels going to and from the different heart chambers and that is is quite normal. If my memory serves...hope that helps Debbie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
p8d Posted June 5, 2018 Report Share Posted June 5, 2018 Congratulations on the baby, I hope you are all doing well. I recall a conversation with my neurologist about that and palpitations and was told it’s something physiological but don’t recall what.

Shannoncr Posted June 5, 2018 Report Share Posted June 5, 2018 i know laying on your left side helps aid in digestion, maybe that’s why your heart beats slower because the energy is going somewhere else? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TCP Posted June 5, 2018 Report Share Posted June 5, 2018 I can't lie on my left side as it makes me feel very unwell, plus I have pelvic adhesions that side and a bent spine. Yes lying on the left side shifts stomach gas and moves bowel movements along. Congrats on the baby x Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
