What Causes Fluttering Sensation In The Chest?

Very weird unexplainable sensation in my chest for about two weeks now. I am a 64 year old woman on high blood pressure meds. It s not pain but almost like a fluttering sensation and awareness of my heart beating almost like it s off beat sometimes? Breathless as well. Is this something I need to worry about?
