Can Heart Flutters Be Caused By Stress In A Healthy Individual?
I have been experiencing heart flutters for the first time. I am 56 years old. Stress levels have been higher than normal. I am a very active person, on my feet all day. Can this be from stress? My blood pressure is normal and on the low side for my age.

Hello,
You are having a clinical condition called palpitations.
Anxiety can cause such symptoms. However, it is better to consult a physician and get a serial ECG to rule out cardiac arrhythmia.
Avoid unwanted stress and anxiety. Relaxation techniques like yoga and meditation can help a bit.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
