I get flutter feelings in my chest usually when sitting it can last 5 seconds to several hours it sometimes wakes me up at night feels like air escaping or little bubbles can make chest sore after long periods. Taking previcid, xantac what do you think this is
Thanks for your question on Chat Doctor. In my opinion you are having tachycardia (rapid heart rate) which causes palpitations, and you feel this as fluttering in the chest. So we need to rule out cardiac arrhythmia in your case. So get done1. ECG2. 2D Echo. 3. Holder monitoring (continuous recording of ECG). If all are normal then get done CBC (Complete Blood Count) and thyroid levels to rule out anemia and thyroid diseases as both can cause palpitations. If these are also normal then mostly you are having anxiety related palpitations. So avoid stress and tension. Be relax and calm.
