A member asked:

What can be causing my heart to flutter/skip beats? is this a cause for concern?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Heart flutter: Usually heart fluttering is not something to worry about - can be caused by stress, caffeine intake, poor sleep. IF you feel any associated light headedness, dizziness, chest discomfort, then you should certainly get it evaluated.
