I am 29 years old, and overweight.  I had a baby 6 months ago and have found it hard to lose the weight. Over the last few weeks, Ive noticed a slight flutter in the center of my chest. At first it was quite pronounced, but now its barely noticeable although it still bothers me. I do not have any dizziness, shortness of breath, or chest pain.  Just the fluttering.  Can you please tell me what this might be?
Thanks for your question on Chat Doctor. I can understand your concern. Fluttering sensations in chest in young patient should be evaluated for arrhythmia (rhythm disturbances in heart). So consult cardiologist and get done ECG, 2d echo and Holder monitoring (24 hours continuous recording of ECG). If all these are normal then no need to worry about arrhythmia and other cardiac diseases. Sometimes undiagnosed stress and anxiety can also cause fluttering sensations. So consult psychiatrist and get done counselling sessions. Try to identify stressor in your life and start working on its solution. You may need anxiolytic Chat Doctor. Don't worry, you will be alright with all these. Avoid stress and tension, be relaxed and calm. Hope I have solved your query. I will be happy to help you further. Wish you good health. Thanks.
