Hello, thanks for writing in.
Fluttering in the chest is a sensation of feeling ones own heart beat, known as palpitations. A lot of times its related to stress/anxiety, intake of caffeine/alcohol or heavy fatty meals etc.
In your case it is accompanied with breathlessness and a cough, hence it should not be ignored.
I would suggest a quick visit to your physician, who can do an ECG/ECHO for the heart and check your blood pressure/sugar levels.
Hope this is helpful. Take care.
