What Causes Fluttering Sensation In Heart Along With Shortness Of Breath?

I am a 63 y.o. white male. I am over weight, a non-smoker, 4 to 6 drinks a week. For the past year I have been experiencing off and on heart flutter, resulting in shortness of breath, dizziness, total loss of strength, and I sleep all the time. Recently I have been experiencing visual disturbances, pressure in the eyes and a continuous annoying headache (in the temples and behind the eyes). My blood pressure is running 145/90. Blood Sugar around 95 each am. I will be seeing my doctor next week. I assume that he will recommend that I see a cardiologist. Do you have any suggestions at this time? Thank you, Bill

I think you are quite symptomatic. You should do lfe style change in form of decrease salt in ntake, decrease fat intake, daily walking till you feel OK. U need to see doctor as early as possible, in order to get check up done. Any heart problem needs to be addressed early.
