How does heart fluttering come or infect a person?
5 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
Palpitations: "fluttering" sensation usually refers to the feeling one has during an irregular heartbeat. The important goal is to determine the underlying cause. It might be hypertension, a heart valve malfunction, overactive thyroid, heart muscle problem or some other medical issue. It merits a careful examination by your doctor or by a cardiologist.

Cardiac Arrhythmia: Fluttering or "palpitations" are frequently but not always caused by a disorder of the heart rhythm.
