I feel like I am experiencing heart flutters. I m not sure if that or even palpitations is the correct term. The best way I can describe is that at times I am just more aware of my heartbeat, like it is coming out of my chest. It is not pounding. This has been happening for the last 2-3 days, although more frequently today. I am an otherwise healthy, very active 38 yo female. I happen to have a pretty bad chest cold these past few days, and am wondering if that could have anything to do with it? I have checked my heart rate immediately after several of these episodes and it is always 70-80 range. Also, I have no other symptoms. Could this be related to my chest cold?
