Heart fluttering?


Question:
My heart's been fluttering for a few years now (random racing of the heart lasting less than a minute each time). Does this necessarily mean that I may have or get a serious heart condition?

Answers:
Feeling your heartbeat does not necessarily mean you have problems. Palpitations (awareness of heartbeat) is common. You heart beats millions of times and it occasionally "lays an egg" or has a bad beat. It's normal.

The fluttering you describe could be that or it could be a sign of something more serious. The only way you are going to know is to bring this up with your doctor. They will listen and do some tests and if they are concerned they will send you to a Cardiologist.

It's not something to ignore but it's not something to worry a lot over.
you might want to get that checked out, it doesn't sound good.
No it's a fairly common rhythm abnormality. Some people even grow out of them. They do not cause damage or any other defect other than a temporary feeling of nervousness or agitation.
it could be a number of things. heart palpation's which is normal, anxiety attacks which are pretty common or maybe you just see someone that makes your heart flutter when you see them.if your worried about it just go to your Dr with the symptoms and I'm sure everything will be fine.good luck..
I'm amazed people ask questions like this online. GO TO YOUR DOCTOR! It could be any number of things that NO ONE ON HERE is qualified to guess about. A medical doctor wouldn't even take the liability to tell you you're fine over the internet.

Seriousness can be ascertained only after a medical check up. Take ECG (It is the gold standard for the diagnosis of cardiac arrhythmias) and consult a Cardiologist.
Please see the web pages for more details on ECG and Cardiac arrhythmias.
