Dear relative,

Thanks for your query about your mom. She needs further investigations to make sure that the abnormal fluttering is not due to an arrhythmia or heart disease. The two most useful tests in this sense would be an event monitor to detect an arrhythmia if she has the symptoms and an exercise stress test to see her response with the exercise.


Yours truly,
