Fluttering in chest

Hello i would appreciate your help.
I have noticed that the last few days i have had what can be described as flutters in my heart/chest. Almost a quick butterfly feeling that last for a second then goes. I get them every so often. What is this? & is it serious?
I have a bit of a chest infection but apart from that i am pretty healthy

Hi,

I sincerely believe that if there’s anything which comes and goes in a few seconds, there isn’t usually an underlying pathology to explain the same. If you are otherwise well and don’t have any other symptoms, I am pretty sure there’s nothing to worry about. There’s definitely nothing to do with heart and thus enjoy your life.

Please be assured that there’s nothing to do with the lungs also.

I sincerely believe that helps.

Warm regards.
