What Causes Fluttering Sensation In The Chest?
I am a 53 year old male about 6 8 tall and weigh 320 lbs. I have been told I have a heart flutter. My real problem is sleeping at night. I go for about 3 to 4 weeks usually in the winter where I go to bed and then in about 1/2 to one hour wake like I have not be breathing. No pain or anything just a little panic. I do feel a flutter every once in a while in my chest. Whats up?
