Fluttering: I would not worry. If it only lasts a few seconds and is not associated with pain, pressure in your chest, difficulty breathing, sweating, nausea or vomiting it could simply be some abnormal beats which happens. Mention it to your GP and they will check an ECG. http://www.webmd.com/heart-disease/guide/what-causes-heart-palpitations#1

Don't worry: Unless you're having symptoms like lightheadedness, dizziness or fainting you are quite unlikely to have much to worry about. Decrease your caffeine as that may help. Only way to know for sure would be to wear a heart monitor for a day or two but honestly what you've described sounds not worrisome at all and is rather common.
