What Causes Heart Flutters With Increased Heartbeats Rate?
I am a 48 year old female with type I diabetes, rheumatoid arthritis, and hashimoto disease. I have been experiencing what feels like heart flutters at an increasing rate for the last 72 hours. I am not experiencing pain but have a history of a cardiac event 11 months ago. I am trying to find a primary care physician but am not sure if I should go to an urgent care or ride it out.

Hi,
Please understand that you need to visit urgent care as there is a history of cardiac event. Also undergo ECG and if possible stress echocardiography. Also undergo thyroid status.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
