Suggest Remedies For Heart Flutter With Shortness Of Breath

Hi, my name is Angela. I have an issue with my heart fluttering a lot lately. I also have shortness of breath when it flutters. I am overweight so I know that may play a part. I am also diabetic but I am not able to afford doctors or medication at this present time. If there is a natural remedy for this, please alert me. Thank you.

General & Family Physician,  's  Response
The fluttering that you are mentioning could be a phenomenon called paroxysmal supraventricular tachycardia (PSVT) which is undoubtedly bothering but does not need to be treated. But it could be other things like arrythmia, palpitation or general increased heart rate which could also be caused due to anaemia. Your diabetes is also a factor to keep in mind. Rather than jumping to conclusions, you should visit a doctor and get yourself checked thoroughly. I would not suggest any home remedies as the cause of your problem needs to be diagnosed first in order to rule out something more serious. Some simple medicines like beta-blockers would probably be able to solve your problem.
