Thanks for your question on Healthcare Magic.
I can understand your concern.
Possibility of stress and anxiety related chest fluttering is more likely.
But better to rule out cardiac cause like arrhythmia (rhythm disturbances in heart) first.
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 your psychiatrist and get done counselling sessions. Try to identify stressor in your life and start working on its solution.
You may need need additional anxiolytic drugs too.
Don't worry, you will be alright. 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.
