When lying down, the heart experiences less gravitational resistance, which allows for easier blood flow. This decreased workload means the heart doesn’t have to pump as forcefully compared to when a person is sitting or standing. Additionally, lying down often promotes a more relaxed state, further reducing heart rate and energy expenditure. Overall, this position allows for better circulation and more efficient heart function.

Why is your pulse different lying down than when you are standing?

When you are lying down your pulse rate is much slower because your body is not having to work as hard to pump blood around your body. When you are standing your heart has to work much harder to got blood all around the body and it has to work against gravity to get blood to your head which makes your pulse rate much faster. This is also the case for when you are sitting down.
