What Causes Fluttering Sensation In The Chest Despite Treating A Blocked Artery?
My right decending artery is 100% occluded and has veins that have formed to compensate, so no surgery was needed. (from March 2017) For the past few days i have had a flutter in my chest. I notice it maybe once or twice an hour or so. i see my cardiologist oct 25th for a recheck. I m just wondering if i should be concerned or not. There is no pain or discomfort. I just feel this sensation. Thank you
Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service. I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.
(no active chest pain and discomfort is good but palpitations are bad). Are you using your medications regularly? It's better to get one E.C.G and check your B.P because if your heart is in arrhythmia. You must be treated accordingly.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
