Hi. I am 34 yrs old too. I started having a "flutter" feeling about one year and a half ago almost all the time. I went straight to my cardio at Mt. Sinai in NYC. I had a full ECHO and EKG - I was born with a benign murmur and I have been watching it since then. I came out normal. He told me it could be emotional. Now, he is the professor, head, chief whatever you want to call him there and he evaluated me saying that. I said maybe. As soon as I left, it was gone. However, 8 months later I had a anxiety attack while I was driving. Luckily, a residential street. I had complete blurred vision, and the most rapid heartbeat in the world. I had an EKG within the hour, BP was 130/80 and i had no swelling and I calmed down. My dr said: nerves. I wacked out. I was overworking myself and stressed. I am now on Tranxene 7.5 mg a day; it works to relax you. I am half-dosing now, but I started with the heart skipping a beat again. Maybe twice a week if I am stressed. But, let me tell you: it is stress. I never had this before. I was told never to have caffeine, chocolate, too much to drink (which I can't now), teas, anything to trigger the nervous system. You HAVE to relax and maybe you'll need something for it. The more you pay attention to it, you add worry, which adds stress to that subject. Get an ECHO and you'll see you have nothing but emotional problems: and you probably won't know what triggers it. I've been on this subject almost two years now. If we were really sick, we'd be dead. But, we're not. We're going through an emotional time. Hope you feel better.
