In reply to What causes the heart to thump, but not beat quick, posted by glenn on August 18, 2003, at 6:03:50
> Just wondered if anyone had any ideas about the mechanism or culprit behind this, I often find my heart beating loudly, especially at night when laying on a pillow, it does not however beat rapidly at all, in fact its reasonably slow, any ideas?!
I've experienced this too, where my heart beats loudly, and I can actually hear the blood rushing in my ears, and my extemities throbbing (provided I lay still and it's quiet). I've monitored my hearrate and BP when this happens, and to my amazement, they're normal.
