Sleep position I have to sleep on my right side with the head of my bed elevated. If I lie on my back, my chest feels weird. Hard to explain, not a pressure or a squeezing but not unlike a pressure or squeezing too. On a scale of 1-10 the discomfort is like a 0.5 or less. Just an odd feeling. Also if I lie on my left side, I get thumps. And it depends on how well I feel generally and how rested up I am etc. Anybody have anything to say about this? https://www.afibbers.org/forum/read.php?9,197604,197604#msg-197604 Tue, 23 Jun 2026 21:51:35 +0000 Phorum 5.2.23 https://www.afibbers.org/forum/read.php?9,197604,197877#msg-197877 Re: Sleep position https://www.afibbers.org/forum/read.php?9,197604,197877#msg-197877 susan.d AFIBBERS FORUM Wed, 13 Nov 2024 16:03:28 +0000 https://www.afibbers.org/forum/read.php?9,197604,197867#msg-197867 Re: Sleep position https://www.afibbers.org/forum/read.php?9,197604,197867#msg-197867 aikidorobbins AFIBBERS FORUM Tue, 12 Nov 2024 17:31:48 +0000 https://www.afibbers.org/forum/read.php?9,197604,197748#msg-197748 Re: Sleep position https://www.afibbers.org/forum/read.php?9,197604,197748#msg-197748 Sdweller AFIBBERS FORUM Fri, 01 Nov 2024 21:07:57 +0000 https://www.afibbers.org/forum/read.php?9,197604,197677#msg-197677 Re: Sleep position https://www.afibbers.org/forum/read.php?9,197604,197677#msg-197677
Falling asleep sitting up can crunch the major blood vessels in your neck too when your head falls forward, I heard. That is not good. I know pressure on the neck vessels as with an ill fitting scuba wetsuit that is too tight around the neck can throw your heart off even if you are young.]]> Shiny Sleeves AFIBBERS FORUM Tue, 29 Oct 2024 23:52:24 +0000 https://www.afibbers.org/forum/read.php?9,197604,197676#msg-197676 Re: Sleep position https://www.afibbers.org/forum/read.php?9,197604,197676#msg-197676 Shiny Sleeves AFIBBERS FORUM Tue, 29 Oct 2024 23:46:06 +0000 https://www.afibbers.org/forum/read.php?9,197604,197624#msg-197624 Re: Sleep position https://www.afibbers.org/forum/read.php?9,197604,197624#msg-197624
Currently I have 100% burden. I can stop them with Atenolol for hours (10) but the moment I lay down in bed they return at 100%. I take Prilosec and I don’t lay down after eating small meals.

Like you, sleep position triggers this. I use a sleep apnea mask and machine. I tried last night to sleep sitting up on my couch. I woke up in palpitations because I had slumped in my sleep. This positional sleeping is new to me. My discomfort is disabling.]]> susan.d AFIBBERS FORUM Fri, 25 Oct 2024 10:46:59 +0000 https://www.afibbers.org/forum/read.php?9,197604,197623#msg-197623 Re: Sleep position https://www.afibbers.org/forum/read.php?9,197604,197623#msg-197623 johnnyS AFIBBERS FORUM Fri, 25 Oct 2024 03:42:01 +0000 https://www.afibbers.org/forum/read.php?9,197604,197619#msg-197619 Re: Sleep position https://www.afibbers.org/forum/read.php?9,197604,197619#msg-197619 gloaming AFIBBERS FORUM Thu, 24 Oct 2024 22:08:58 +0000 https://www.afibbers.org/forum/read.php?9,197604,197614#msg-197614 Re: Sleep position https://www.afibbers.org/forum/read.php?9,197604,197614#msg-197614

It wasn't 100%, but so often that it ruined sleeping that way until I got my second ablation.

So no more limitations after your 2nd ablation?]]> Yuxi AFIBBERS FORUM Thu, 24 Oct 2024 18:30:19 +0000 https://www.afibbers.org/forum/read.php?9,197604,197611#msg-197611 Re: Sleep position https://www.afibbers.org/forum/read.php?9,197604,197611#msg-197611 gloaming AFIBBERS FORUM Thu, 24 Oct 2024 15:52:59 +0000 https://www.afibbers.org/forum/read.php?9,197604,197606#msg-197606 Re: Sleep position https://www.afibbers.org/forum/read.php?9,197604,197606#msg-197606 FibberMcGee AFIBBERS FORUM Thu, 24 Oct 2024 09:50:20 +0000 https://www.afibbers.org/forum/read.php?9,197604,197605#msg-197605 Re: Sleep position https://www.afibbers.org/forum/read.php?9,197604,197605#msg-197605 MeganMN AFIBBERS FORUM Thu, 24 Oct 2024 04:32:00 +0000 https://www.afibbers.org/forum/read.php?9,197604,197604#msg-197604 Sleep position https://www.afibbers.org/forum/read.php?9,197604,197604#msg-197604
