I had a fluttering heartbeat for the past two weeks. what is this indicating ?

Palpitations: Fluttering heartbeat is often just that, extra beats or a rapid heart rate. If you are 25 the most likely cause is anxiety or psvt (paroxysmal supra ventricular tachycardia). Sometimes made worse with stimulants or sleep deprivation. Very reasonable to obtain ekg to evaluate.
