I have a bad fluttering sensation in my sternum area. it's been bothering me on and off today not sure what it could be?

Cardiologist: Can clarify your situation. It might be mitral valve prolapse which pts. Often describe as "flutter." folks w/this situation are often very focused on physical symptoms. Get reassurance from your doc and perhaps support from a psychologist if desired.
