Fluttering in the: trunk of the body needs to be examined by your doctor. It MAY be from anxiety but he/she can rule out other possibilities and then you will know how to deal w/it better. Peace and good health.

Hi doctors. 22 years old I've been going through a lot of anxiety for 2 months, usually a very healthy person. As of late I've had a lot of heart palpitation, at a normal beat and very strong, but I feel a fluttering feeling as well like a buzz?

A member asked:

If the heart feels fluttering without fast heart rate is this most likely anxiety? Just felt groups of flutters today, my heart wasnt racing though.

A member asked:
