What causes the sensation of your heart flipping and flopping?
2 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
The heart can be irritated by many things that cause it to have an unusual beat or skipped beat. Coffee, stress, lack of sleep, exercise, menopause and thyroid problems are common causes. Some of these unusual beats can be normal and sometimes the pattern of them is not normal and needs to be treated. Best to be seen by your doctor to be evaluated.

Most of the times extrasystoles or isolated irregular heart beats (common in normal individuals) may create the sensation of heart flipping. If on any heart meds letting your doc know would be best.
