How To Cure Fluttering Feel In Chest On Left Side And Neck On Right ?

Im having a fluttering feeling in my chest just under my breast bone to the left.I also sometimes get it in the right side of my neck.I have suffered from anxiety in the past but Im feeling fine at the moment.It mostly happens when Im sitting or lying and Im not active.It only lasts a few seconds.No other symptoms.I had it a few months ago but it went away.Is it just anxiety or should I go to my GP about it?

Thanks for your question on Healthcare Magic.
I can understand your concern.
Possibility of anxiety related symptoms is more likely.
But better to rule out arrhythmia (rhythm disturbances in heart) because you are having left sided chest fluttering sensations.
So get done ecg, 2d echo and Holter monitoring (24 hours continuous recording of Ecg).
If all these are normal then no need to worry for arrhythmia.
Consult psychiatrist and get done counselling sessions.
Try to identify stressor in your life and start working on its solution.
You will need anxiolytic drugs too.
Don't worry, you will be alright with all these
Avoid stress and tension, be relax and calm.
Hope I have solved your query. I will be happy to help you further. Wish you good health. Thanks.
