What Causes Heart Fluttering?
I'm very worried about my heart health. I was experiencing heart fluttering for about 4 days, and finally went to see my doctor. My heart flutters every once in a while, but has never before lasted for days, and was intermittent but consistant. My doctor performed an ekg which said t wave changes in the septal lead borderline abnormal for age and gender. I'm a 31 yr old female in good health. My doctor order a thyriod test. Can some please tell me what the cause could be?

Hi,
Don't worry. Women frequently have some ECG disturbances without any abnormality.
Just do the thyroid test, if it comes back normal, you can undergo a stress test, if it comes back normal as well, then forget about ECG changes.
Take care
Come back if you have any further questions
