Yes: Fluttering in your chest could be a symptom of an abnormal heart rhythm. You should be evaluated by a physician today. This is appropriate for the emergency department. They will evaluate your heart and look for other causes. Good luck.

See a doctor.: you should see a doctor to determine if you are having benign or potential dangerous abnormal heart rhythms. Certain heart rhythms can put you at risk for a stroke - it really is worth a visit to the doctor and considering monitoring to try and catch the rhythm on a recording device at the time you have symptoms.
