Thanks for your question on Chat Doctor. In my opinion you are having arrhythmia which gives you feeling of flutters in chest. And your pulse are very slow. In my opinion you should immediately consult your cardiologist and get done ECG and 2D Echo To rule out cardiac arrhythmia as you are at high risk of this due to previous heart attacks and bypass surgeries. Due to low heart rate, blood supply of brain is reduced and this can cause giddiness and lightheadedness. So we need to treat it as soon as possible. So consult cardiologist and discuss all these.
