A member asked:

Heart fluttering, is it something serious??

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Possibly but prob no: heart fluttering can be from a variety of causes but most commonly from anxiety or PSVT. PSVT can be treated by putting your face in ice water or bearing down, More seriously it can be from underlying heart conditions or even from side effects of medications, It is best to have it evaluated by your doctor.
