A member asked:

I was having flutters on the right side of my chest for a couple of seconds an my boyfriend noticed it too an im not sure what that means???

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Flutters: Flutters or twitches on the right side of your chest is probably an irritable chest wall muscle rather than a cardiac arrhythmia. If your pulse is perfectly regular during the flutters, this rules out a cardiac cause.
