I am a 47 year old woman and 2 years ago I would periodically feel "flutters" in my heart. I had it checked out by a cardiologist and found I had a 95% blockage in a major artery to my heart. If you feel flutters, go to your doctor -- I don't think it's normal.

∙ 12y agoNot necessarily. A normal heart beats at about 50 to 100 beats a minute, but not everyone has a strong heartbeat; in fact, some people only feel their heart beating during exercise. Sometimes, after a person has over-exerted, or after they have been running, or playing sports, they might feel their heart beating more quickly or in a way that they can notice it. Also, sometimes, certain medicines will cause a rapid heartbeat, as will vitamin deficiencies.
But in general, unless you are short of breath, have chest pain, or unless you are having what is called palpitations, the chances are your heart is working normally; and although you may not feel it beating, it is doing its job. That said, if you are concerned about your heart or have reason to believe there is a problem with it, you may want to see your doctor so that you can have a thorough examination and have these concerns addressed by a trained professional.
