A member asked:

Why does heart flutter when trying to sleep, and when i bend over sometimes? all heart tests normal. i also have anxiety, flutters everyday.

A doctor has provided 1 answer

30 day event: Ask your doctor for a 30 day event monitor to see if your flutters are pathologic or just cardiac awareness.

A member asked:

Hi doctors. 22 years old I've been going through a lot of anxiety for 2 months, usually a very healthy person. As of late I've had a lot of heart palpitation, at a normal beat and very strong, but I feel a fluttering feeling as well like a buzz?

A member asked:

I've suffered heart palpitations/flutters since my teens (now late 20's) predominantly brought on by anxiety, posture or rigourous movement. If my booked ECG proves normal would it be safe to take Ritalin for recently diagnosed ADHD?
