Energy drinks: These contain stimulants which is usually in the form of caffeine which some people are very sensitive to. This can cause fluttering in the chest due to extra heart beats or slightly more rapid heart rate than normal. This is likely what you are feeling and not dangerous, but if you have any associated light headedness or fatigue or dizziness, you should be evaluated. For now, avoid these drinks.
