What Causes Fluttering Sensation In Chest After A Walk?

Recently had 3 stents placed in RCA. Cardiologist said there are more blockages that need to be addressed. I just completed a 30min walk and had some fluttering in chest area toward the end of the walk. Seems to have gone away now. Wondering if there is something wrong, or I just know my limit for walking?

Hello!

Thank you for asking on HCM!

I understand your concern and would explain that your symptoms may be related to cardiac ischemia and possible cardiomyopathy.

The limitations of the walking perimeter are usually related to cardiac failure.

Do you have any other symptoms, like shortness of breath, chronic fatigue, leg swelling, etc?

I recommend consulting with your doctor for a careful physical examination, a resting ECG, a cardiac ultrasound, a treadmill test and some blood lab tests :

- complete blood count (for chronic anemia)
- cortisol plasma levels (adrenal gland function)
- blood electrolytes
- thyroid hormone levels
- kidney and liver function tests, etc..

Hope to have been helpful!

Best wishes,

Dr. Iliri
