See your doctor: Fluttering in your chest may be caused by a cardiac arrythmia. Holter monitoring for 24 to 48 hrs will show this. You don't indicate how often this occurs or how long it lasts.

Heart rhythm monitor: You should have an ECG and possible a heart rhythm monitor (holter) to capture the electrical activity of your heart at the time of your symptoms.
