What Causes My Heart To Flucter

Updated

I do take metoprolol for my heart, but it still fluters once in a while. What causes it to do this? Why does it beat fast then go back to normal?

From my records I was unable to find anything stating that your heart beat gets fluttered.

Sounds to me like you are in and out of atrial fibrilation. My husband has this problem (he is also on metoprolol as well as other meds including coumadin). You should get check out with a cardiologist as this can be treated in many ways. if left untreated, you run the risk of blood clots in your heart and lungs.

Thanks Linda, that makes sense! Had an RN tell us the same thing.

I'm not a Doctor, but have the same thing. Could be mitral valve prolapse. Have it checked by your cardiologist. I've been told it isn't life threatening, however have to take antibiotics prior to any surgery or dental work.

I take Metoprolol and was diagnosed with Supra Ventricular Tachychardia. My heart rate speeds up but I think of it as racing rather than fluttering. Not sure if yours is the same. Ablations were needed to regulate my problem.
