Auscultation while laying on your left

Have you ever had a doctor listen to you heart with you on your left side if yes were you naked ?

The only time I've had to lie on my left side was for an echocardiogram. I've been asked by a couple of doctors to lean forward while sitting for them to auscultate me.

When I listen to a woman's chest, I listen to her in different positions. I always listen at the apex of her heart under the breast with her lying on her left side. Auscultation of the heart in that position is important to check for a mitral stenosis murmur.

In a real medical exam? No, outside of a couple echocardiograms.

Play exams - almost every time.

One time ever. At my initial cardiologist appointment about 10 years ago, the doctor had me in different positions to listen to my heart including on my left side. Had a paper gown on I believe.

Nowadays I’m lucky if the doctor listens anywhere other than just below my collarbone. 🤣

I had it once, when my heart was auscultated intensively by an older and experienced cardiologist. In general, it was a very exciting situation for me so I could feel every thump of my heart while he was listening. Especially, as he asked me to turn over to my left side, I felt it bouncing against the steth.

During the whole exam I was naked, just wearing my slip.

They have listened while I was laying on my side, yes, but I have not been naked for a physical since I was 17.

Unfortunately no but lord almighty that's on my to do list. something super sensual about the gentle feeling and all that just gives you chills. also, if you're hyperaware of your heartbeat like 99% of the time like I am, feeling your left ventricle basically tap the dr's hand would just send you

Always check my patients mitral valve on the left side laying down
