What Causes Fluttering Sensation In The Chest?

My heart is fluttering, and has been for a couple of weeks. My cardiologist just retired and I have not gone to anyone else in his office. I am in pretty good shape, I work out several times a week however, I am about 30 pounds over weight. I get pellets for my Low-T from my primary doctor but even with those we do not take me as high as I should be. I also take sleeping medicine - I am a very light sleeper and my primary dr. put me on Temazepam Cap 30mg about 3 years ago.
