What Causes Fluttering In The Heart?

My heart keep fluttering. It started out mild this morning, but it has gotten worse to where it makes me cough...i only been taking B-12 vitamin and Biotin. Also I did a 3 1/2 walk Thursday. Could any of these be the cause? How can I make it stop? Its an uncomfy feeling. Do I need to go to Urgent care?

I can understand your concern.
No, any of these can not cause such symptoms.
And yes, you should definitely consult doctor immediately and rule out arrhythmia (rhythm disturbances in heart).
Arrhythmia can cause Fluttering sensations in chest and if not treated promptly, arrhythmia can be life threatening.
So consult doctor immediately and get done
1. Ecg
2. 2d echo
3. Holter monitoring (24 hours continuous recording of ecg).
You may need anti arrhythmia drug on the basis of these reports.
Don't worry, you will be alright. But first rule out arrhythmia.
