What Causes Fluttering Sensation And Pressure In The Chest?

For the past few days I have been experiencing heart flutters, chest pressure that extends to in between by shoulder blades, light headed, left shoulder pain and hard to take a deep breath sometimes. I have a history of heart issues. I have had a stress test done years ago and was told that my heart accelerates too quickly. I have had to learn the difference between regular issues and more severe.

Hello,

Your symptoms may be related the heart problems such as irregular rhythm or ischemia. It is important, especially due to your previous history of heart problems, to be checked and have an ECG and a heart ultrasound.

After these examinations, the doctor will be able to know the cause of your symptoms and treat you accordingly.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
