What Causes A Fluttery Heartbeat And Dizziness?
I feel extremely unwell in the early morning at about 5.30 when in bed. There is a degree of fluttery heart beat but I am in no pain. On rising, I feel faint and light headed for a couple of hours.
I am 67 years old, male. Weight 15stone,height 5ft 10 inches.
Only significant medical history is that I have had an ileostomy for about 17 years. After operations for this, I have developed low blood pressure and been anaemic.At present, I do not think either of these conditions apply but I do tire easily at times.

fluttering heart with dizziness may be a sign of Atrial fibrillation or simply paroxysmal supraventricular tachycardia. anemia is also a cause of feeling of fluttry heart and uneasiness.
morning giddiness on standing from lying indicate ortho static hypotension may be related with anemia or a feature of autonomic dysfunction.
better is to consult a cardiologist get an ECG Echo done along with 24hs holter monitoring.
