Dr. Darcy Conaway: Had a physical check-up about 4 months ago. Had an ekg done and was told that I have atrial fluttering. I am a 74 year old female in generally good health. Take medical for high blood pressure which is controlled. Have some palpitations and thats when my doctor took the ekg test. He did not seem to be too concerned about this, but I am wondering if I have to worry about this in two-three years down the road. May turn out to be atrial fib??
