At the same time there was a fluttering sensation in the area of my heart, but my heart seemed to be beating normally. ???
Brief Answer:
I would recommend as follows:
Detailed Answer:
Hello!
Welcome and thank you for asking on HCM!
I understand your concern and would like to explain that it seems to be just a bout of anxiety (frequently expressed as a nightmare).
As your heart beating looked normal and no other associated complaints were present at that time (besides feeling cold), it exists a very low probability to have been a cardiac arrhythmia or any other cardiac disorders.
So, just relax!
In case of any other disturbances, I recommend you to perform a medical checkup, including a careful physical exam) and additional tests like:
- resting ECG,
- complete blood count,
- thyroid function tests,
- fasting glucose,
- kidney function tests,
- liver function tests,
- blood lipid profile
Hope to have been helpful to you!
In case of any further uncertainties, do not hesitate to ask me!
Kind regards,
Dr. Iliri
