Are Heart Palpitations And Fluttering Heart Post Removal Of Bone Spurs From Knee A Cause For Concern?

Hi, I had bone spurs removed from my knee last month. Shortly after (and still today) I seem to have heart palpitations occasionly where it feels like my heart flutters for a second and for about a minute after its feels like my lungs go empty (that s the only way i can describe it). It doesn t hurt and is only alittle worrisome since I have never had it before. It happens about every other day and usually only once. Should I be alarmed or wait it out and see if it goes away

Hi,

Without an exam, I can only give general information and the palpitations need a monitor to see what type of problem is going on.

Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
