Dr. Donald Colantino answered

Fluttering: This may simply be an irritable chest wall muscle, but certain cardiac arrhythmias cause a sensation of fluttering(palpitations). If you can feel your pulse and it's perfectly regular during the fluttering sensation it would rule out cardiac arrhythmia as a cause of your symptoms.
