My cardiologist agrees with you. She said the vast majority of her patients who report increased noticeable heartbeats while in bed also report a preferred sleeping position on their left side. As explained to me, the heart itself is not “fixed” in the chest to an immobile location. It is tethered somewhat loosely in place and can move, particularly when lying on the left. The heart shifts position and produces additional heartbeats as a result of the positioning of the heart itself.

Yes got this from my cardiologist and my primary care doctor. When I was having so much VTAC and PVCs for a week I slept sitting up on bed with back raised (have an adjustable bed). It helped not feel the VTAC and PVCs.
Funny when I brought this up to cardiologist they seem perplex at first but when mentioned to my PCP said yes and explained the organs, heart movement on side and that organs can touch or put more pressure on this or that.
That is where I got most of my information. And even today if having a lot of PVCs will sleep on my right side only.
