I just went to the doctors for this exact same issue. 1st you will want to check your blood pressure and ensure it's in a safe range. As a preventative measure, have EKG and any other heart tests covered by insurance or that you can afford. In the meantime, stop drinking caffeine and limit salt.
Also make sure your thyroid is not the issue of this problem. Research on www.about.com for Hypothyroidism/Hashimoto's/Hyperthyroidism. Women have thyroid issues more commonly than men, but make sure yours is working correctly!
flutters day and night all day all night .i have a beta blocker and i am scared to death to take it
Yes anaemia can cause heart flutters (palpitations). The cause is usually due to the heart trying to compensate for low oxygen levels in the body. Anaemia is an abnormally low amount of haemoglobin in the blood, which is the part of blood which carries oxygen. Therefore, low haemoglobin levels lead to low oxygen levels. In response, the heart will often try to increase the amount of blood pumped around the body, to meet the body's demand for oxygen by beating faster. This can cause a high heart rate which can lead to palpitations or heart flutters.
From what I can understand, and I am no doctor, heart palpitations is the same thing as heart beat flutters. Heart palpitation is the feeling that your heart is racing.
Heart flutters or the feeling of missed heartbeats (everyone has them, but just doesn't feel it in some cases.) Over-exercising can cause this. There is caffeine in soft drinks and chocolate. Sometimes eating after 8 PM can produce heart flutters because of a chemical in possibly junk food. It would be a good idea to see your doctor and be sure you have no abnormalities of the heart. Don't risk not seeing you doctor. I'm sure you are OK, but your doctor can explain to you how the heart works and why you may be getting those heart flutters. Hormones also can cause heart flutters and young women to perimenopausal women and women in menopause can get these heart flutters or so-called missed heartbeats on quite a regular basis.
Heart flutters, or palpitations, can be a sign of underlying heart conditions, such as atrial fibrillation (AFib), which increases the risk of stroke. AFib can lead to the formation of blood clots in the heart that may travel to the brain, causing a stroke. While not all heart flutters are dangerous, it’s essential to consult a healthcare professional for evaluation if they occur frequently or are accompanied by other symptoms. Proper management of any underlying conditions can help reduce the risk of stroke.
Flutters, often referring to sensations like palpitations or brief episodes of irregular heartbeat, can last from a few seconds to several minutes. The duration can vary based on the underlying cause, such as anxiety, caffeine intake, or heart conditions. If flutters are frequent or prolonged, it's important to consult a healthcare professional for evaluation.

Heart flutters, or palpitations, can exist for many reasons. Some of the more common reasons include stress, illness, dehydration, and exhaustion. If a person experiences this consistently, a doctor should be consulted.
When your heart flutters like a butterfly :D
a brief rush
Atrial Flutter. You may be thinking of atrial fibrillation, though.
Cardiac flutters do not generally make you gasp or cough, they are more related to a rapid heartbeat and tachycardia. Congestive heart failure can produce a slight cough. If you are experiencing symptoms that you are concerned about make an appointment with your physician.
