What Causes Fluttering Feeling In Chest?

Hi, may I answer your health queries right now ? Please type your query here...- have been having a fluttering feeling in my chest. Sometimes in the middle of the night, in the morning upon waking and now its been during the day too. For the past few weeks, I now have episodes that feel like my heart stops, I can t take a breath, and then about 5-10 seconds later it starts again. I had a PDA repaired 36 years ago at age 6 weeks old. Is this a heart issue that I need to worry about?

Cardiologist,  's  Response
Hi,

After going through your medical query I understand your concern and I would like to tell you that possibly you have developed some cardiac arrhythmia which should be evaluated to avoid any unpleasant cardiac event.

It's recommended for you to get a basic Cardiac evaluation which includes ECG, Echocardiograpy and a Holter test done and consult a cardiologist for further treatment.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Bhanu Partap,
Cardiologist
