What Causes Fluttering Feeling In Chest?

My husband is complaining of these symptoms: fluttering feeling in middle of chest follwed by feeling of flushing up the back of his neck over his head to his forehead, then feeling stoned for a few seconds. Happened several times last night. He does have CHF, diabetes, kidney failure, has had two CABG s (these are the worst of a myriad of other things).

Thanks for your question on Health Care Magic.
I can understand your concern.
In my opinion, your husband is having arrhythmia.
Arrhythmia is irregular heart beats. So this can cause fluttering feeling in chest.
He is also having heart and kidney disease. He is also diabetic, so all these also favour arrhythmia more.
So better to consult cardiologist and get done
1. Ecg
2. 2 d echo.
3. Holter monitoring (24 hour continuous monitoring of ecg).
He may need anti arrhythmia drugs to stabilize his irregular heart beats.
Hope I have solved your query.
I will be happy to help you further. Wishing good health to your husband. Thanks.
