question: Went to my doctor today for a checkup. I had been experiencing heart flutters for the past few months. No shortness of breath, sweating, pain or cramping. Blood pressure turned out to be 190/90 and my pulse rate at rest was 41 which in itself is fairly normal for me. Never had high blood pressure before. He did an EKG and it showed a flutter while it was happening. The fluttering is constant.
