Dear-thanks for using our service. I read your question with care and want to advise you to consult with your primary care physician about this problem that you are having with palpitations. I don't know your age, but it is important to have a basic evaluation with a 24 hour holder to be able to identify what type of arrhythmia you are having and what triggers it. You will need to have a complete laboratory exam to in order to check for abnormal electrolytes levels as potassium, chloride and calcium which can cause irregularities in the heart when they are not between the normal levels. The reason that happens more when you are lying on the stomach could be related that you are pressing that area, and it is creating an increase of the blood flow to the heart. I hope that my advice has been helpful Chat Doctor.
