Difficult to know...: The fluttering sensation you describe could be due to many different things. To rule out a heart arrhythmia, your doctor could order a Holter monitor placed which would monitor your heart rhythm. It could be worn for weeks and if you have the sensation while it is on, your doctor could determine if an arrhythmia explains the sensation. So, see your doctor or a heart doctor to get this test done!
