What Causes Heart Fluttering?

I get heart fluttering now and again, had an episode today just a little while ago. I was relaxing and watching TV with my daughter and it started beating fast. I beared down like I was having a baby and it went away. However, the last week or so I've had chest tightness and almost like a bruise soreness in the middle of my chest? What the heck?

Hi
The heart fluttering which you are experiencing may be a SVT (supra ventricular tachycardia ).

they are small electrical problems in our heart and are very common aan amenable to treatment.
they are due to re entrant circuits.

I suggest you to get an EKG done and consult a cardiologist for the same.
