The only time I hear the swishing sound with the heartbeat is when I lay on my side while trying to sleep. Sounds like a boomslush thing. It does it until I roll over a few times and fall asleep. I neer mention this to the Drs becuse it did it before I was diagnosed. I'm just glad to hear that my heart is still chuggin away.
