Thanks for your question on Healthcare Magic.
I can understand your concern.
Fluttering sensations in left sided chest is commonly seen with arrhythmia (rhythm disturbances in heart).
So better to consult cardiologist and get done ecg, 2d echo and Holter monitoring (24 hours continuous recording of Ecg).
If all these are normal then no need to worry for arrhythmia.
Sometimes stress and anxiety can also cause similar fluttering sensations.
So avoid stress and tension, be relax and calm.
Don't worry, you will be alright but first rule out arrhythmia.
Hope I have solved your query. I will be happy to help you further. Wish you good health. Thanks.
