There could be many different reasons. Ask your doctor!
Chest flutters are also know as PVCs or Premature Ventricular Contractions. The can be caused from anxiety, fatigue, too much exercise.
"palpitations" are any feeling (as in to palpate) , or anything you can feel. in this case if you are having fluttering feelings in your chest... it could be atrial fibrillation or any number of other heart arrhythmias or it could be nothing. Get it checked out by a Dr. if it occurs every day it will be easy to capture on an overnight heart monitor... if it only happens every few days etc, a 30 day event monitor would be more appropriate.
The symptoms are variable for people, but most of the patients with atrial flutter describe having a rapid heartbeat, a fluttering feeling in the chest, shortness of breath, anxiety and weakness. This does not count for people with heart or lung diseases.
Symptoms of an arrhythmia include a fast heart-beat, pounding or fluttering chest sensations, skipping a heartbeat, "flip-flops," dizziness, faintness, shortness of breath, and chest pains.
