Heart Rhythm Conditions – Welcome to the group

Hi Jane and welcome to the group! If you could give us a little more information about what's going on, it would help us give you some better opinions. Could you tell us what, exactly, you mean when you say you have a "fluttering heart at times." Does it "flutter" for just a few seconds, then stop? Does it "flutter" off and on all day? Does it "flutter" for hours? Do you feel any other symptoms when it's "fluttering?" Does your pulse rate increase and/or does it feel "out of rhythm?" When did this start? Do you remember what you were doing when you first experienced this? Could we ask you age and if you have any other underlying health issues? I know that's a lot of personal questions, but it will help us give you better ideas of what might be going on. I'm sure you understand that NONE of us are doctors, so our thoughts, opinions and advice need to be taken with a grain of salt and ONLY your cardiologist can diagnose what's REALLY going on. We'll look forward to receiving more information so we can start offering you some possibilities for your "flutters!" If you are not having pain during these episodes, then please try to relax. More than likely you're just feeling some benign palpitations. RubyWitch

I have a fluttering heart at times. Is this dangerous? Jane

I have but my insurance doesn’t start for another 27 days and all this scares me I’m afraid

You've mentions several different symptoms in other conversations, have you considered asking your mother to help you find an internist who can address the bigger picture and look at you as a whole?

@marywh Hi and Welcome I'm.so glad you joined us. We are all patients and caregivers who share experiences with the goal to help each other thru different Experiences. Or just to have someone that understands that strange feeling or just want advice about a certain test or procedure.
I had similar issues as you and thru a pacemaker plus meds had a normal life for almost 10 years when my old ticker just got to a point the meds were not enough to keep up with me. So I am now the proud owner of someone else Heart. So if anything comes up you like to get some inside on I may be able to help.
I hope you have a Blessed Day

Just joined this group—wish I would have known earlier that y’all were here! In November ‘20 I was diagnosed with a mitral valve prolapse and ventricular tachycardia. At Mayo I had a procedure to implant an ICD device. I’m on amiodarone 200mg/daily and 25 metoprolol 25 mg split in half, taking morning and evening. A little concerned about what the future holds for me, but try not to overthink it, and take one day at a time if necessary!
