Hello Maria!

Thank you for asking on HCM!

I understand your concern, and would like to explain that your chest fluttering sensation may be related to a possible paroxysmal appearance of a cardiac arrhythmia.

A careful medical evaluation should be done, including a physical exam, resting ECG, some blood tests (complete blood count, thyroid hormone levels, cardiac enzymes, blood electrolytes level, PCR, etc).

If suspicions are raised a cardiac ultrasound and an ambulatory ECG monitoring test should be done.

Only after a thorough evaluation, it would be possible to appropriately address an optimal treatment.

Hope to have been helpful! Greetings! Dr. Iliri
