YES mine does also.

BUT last week my chiropractor worked on aligning my neck and this week I can lie on my left side for a few minutes.
I still need to sleep on the right side but I see improvement.
Praise God, NO AFIB in the past week!

SPINAL ALIGNMENT is SO IMPORTANT with Afib.
There can be nerve impingement.

@jocrane @lchh You may want to take a look at myofascial release work with a physical therapist. It can break up the tight tissue and scar tissue in the fascia all through the body. This may help with Afib. I can get a fast heart rate too when my chest is tight, and I also have thoracic outlet syndrome that contributes to the problem. There is a provider search on the myofascial release website. I am a spine surgery patient and spine alignment is very important too. I only see my PT for that because chiropractors are risky if there is vertebral slipping or disc damage.
