A member asked:
If you have anxiety and depression but not at the moment could that still cause heart flutters? ive had many many heart tests and it's "healthy"?

Yes: Heart flutter can mean something like a cardiac arrhythmia or irregularity or nothing like feeling your own normal beats. Regardless ,the fact that your doctors have not found anything wrong with your heart is comforting enough .

Yes: cannot answer on your particular case and..... the heart flutter and the anxiety and hyperventilation and other issues can occur somewhat independently in many. ALSO, mitral valve prolapse causes both. the connection is unclear.
