Thanks for your question on Healthcare Magic.
I can understand your concern.
Anxiety can cause fluttering sensations in chest.
But he is also having irregular heart beats, so we should first rule out arrhythmia (rhythm disturbances in heart) for his fluttering se sensations.
So get done ecg, 2d echo and Holter monitoring (24 hours continuous recording of Ecg).
If all these are normal then no need to worry for arrhythmia or other heart disease.
Consult psychiatrist for anxiety. Counseling sessions along with anxiolytic drugs are useful in managing anxiety.
Don't worry, he will be alright.
Hope I have solved your query. I will be happy to help you further. Wishing good health to your husband. Thanks.
