Hello
As you mentioned that this fluttering is usually early in the morning and as temperature goes on increasing it stops and recurs in the night ( when temperature falls ).
This is usually due to bronchoconstriction caused by decrease in temperature .
Another reason of such symptoms may be due to , dust , pollen , hay , smoking, , sprays , mite allergy .
Allergy causes bronchoconstriction and this causes cough .
Usually patient develop tears from eyes , running nose , whistling sound in chest ( as flutter in your case) .
AVOIDANCE to these predisposing cause is important .
When such patient visit my clinic I usually prescribe them to take Monteleukast+ bambuterol once or twice in day .
Also to take chlorampheniramine maleate+ dextromethorphan syrup w twice in day .
As these are prescription drugs so please consult a physician and get his opinion.
Hot coffee also helps.
Good luck.
