My husband is 35, he has been having heart flutters constantly for the last two weeks, it causes a surge of adrenaline... His left peck is completely swollen, he has had bouts of angina randomly for years. His blood pressure is good. He is scheduled for an X-ray and blood work on Monday. I m just unable to sleep. Thank you

Hello Beigh
Thank you for getting in touch with us. As I see, your husband has a past history of angina and has been having heart flutters for the last few weeks. It is tough for us to make a final diagnosis without examining the patient and checking the ECG. I would recommend you to get in touch with your Doctor as soon as possible and get an ECG done. That would help them in finding the exact problem. They can then decide which other tests they need to do. Monday is still 5 days away and we wouldn't recommend you waiting for so long. Hope this helps
Regards
