What Causes Fluttering Sensations In The Chest?

I had an SVT event in the past. Recently, I ve noticed that I can be sitting down and out of no where I feel fluttering in my chest. I ve noticed also that when I get overly heated this has occurred, as well, so I try to keep hydrated, particularly during the summer months. What can I do to manage these symptoms? Please void this question. I thought this was a free symptom checker. I can speak with my regular doctor about it. Thanks!

Thanks for your question on Healthcare Magic.
I can understand your concern.
Since you are known case of SVT (supra ventricular tachycardia), we should definitely rule out arrhythmia for your fluttering sensations in chest.
So get done ecg, 2d echo and Holter monitoring (24 hours continuous recording of Ecg).
If all these are normal then no need to worry for arrhythmia.
Hope I have solved your query. I will be happy to help you further. Wish you good health. Thanks.
