What Causes Heaviness In Chest Area And Fluttering Of Heart?

I have fluttering and heaviness in the chest area. Had this a year ago and saw a specialist and was told my heart was sound as a bell. The fluttering disappeared for a long time. Now it has returned along with some heaviness again. The heaviness in new. It is not panic attacks. I wonder if I am electrolyte deficient and this could be the problems. Not sure if I have been tested for this although I have had many blood tests.
