My chest flutters. Like a big fish flopping around.  I take a quick intake of breath every time it happens, which is almost daily now.  I am female - 65 years. It is especially frequent after the evening meal.  I have asthma and CNS problems from 5 herniated discs at: C2,C3, C4, C5, & C7 in the neck.  This flip flopping has no pain, no shooting down the arm, no trouble breathing,  etc.  I have found that sleeping with a vaporizer running and taking expectorants like Musinex before bedtime greatly reduce and sometimes even eliminate these flip flops.  Coffee and dehydration seem to exacerbate the problem.  I have slightly elevated blood pressure that reduces to 120/70 with 1 pill daily of 1 mm of Clonidine.  My question:  Does it sound like pulmonary or cardiac?
