Hello! Welcome and thank you for asking on Chat Doctor! The symptoms you refer (the palpitations worse when lying down) could be related to gastroesophageal reflux. So, taking an antacid or omeprazole would help. Regarding the chest pain, considering the fact that you have dyslipidemia, I would recommend performing an exercise cardiac stress test to exclude possible coronary artery disease. If this disease is excluded, I would recommend performing a cervical spine X-ray study and a nerve conduction study to exclude possible articular nerve pain in this region. Hope you will find this answer helpful! Kind regards,
