What Causes Fluttering Sensation In Chest?

My boyfriend is 56 years old, never had heart related issues, and has been experiencing a slight flutter feeling in the upper quadrant of left chest. Does have symptoms of GERD and currently prescribed omemprazole. Otherwise, recent checkup showed excellent health. Suggestions?

HI
Well come to HCM
If he has history of GERD and already taking medicine for this then the fluttering may not be due to GERD but for this EKG need to be done, some time ECHO may be suggested, looking to age some routine test need to be done like, Blood pressure, Blood sugar, stress test, hope this information helps. bye.
