Chest thumps
I've been getting some odd heart fluttering the last couple days and it's really worrying me. It's spiking my anxiety through the roof. I do work night shifts and am on asthma medicine but I just am very concerned I have something wrong with my heart but it could be my anxiety any thoughts on what's going on? Sometimes I get light headed after.

it can be due to asthma medicines like deriphyllin. get atleast an ECG done. if its done during your sensation kf fluttering that would be best.
