Over the last couple of weeks my heart has started to 'flutter'. It feels a bit like when a baby first starts to move/kick - like a butterfly type feeling. It flutters for a second or two and then 'thuds' back to normal. This can sometimes go on for about 5-10 minutes.
When it happens (once a day at least), it makes me feel a bit dizzy and sick. Although I realise that I also panic when it happens which probably doesnt help matters!
Any ideas what this could be? I've stupidly googled and have now diagnosed myself with heart failure . Which makes me panic even more!!
The only things I have changed are coming off the pill, and starting to drink coffee again. Could it be either of those causing it?
Just wondered if anybody had experience of this? Or knows what could be causing it before I go to the doctors.
