I've been told i'm heart healthy with tests and had a few pacs with holter monitors..the heart flutters are worse with exercise. what causes these?

Flutters: Typically "flutters" are due to some of your heart cells firing a bit early, pre-empting the natural pacemaker. This causes a reset and an irregular timing to the pulse. Typically flutters get better with exercise since there is less time between regular beats for an extra one to fit in. You should discuss your particular case with your doc.

Tricky.: nearly everyone has some PAC's on a holter. They increase with increasing cardiac stimulation including exercise, caffeiene, eletrolyte abnormalities, and many other conditions. So... this may well be totatllly average cannot say in your particular case,
