The sensation of rapid fluttering in the chest is thought to result from a sustained ventricular or supraventricular arrhythmia. [1] Furthermore, the sudden cessation of this arrhythmia can suggest paroxysmal supraventricular tachycardia. [1] This is further supported if the patient can stop the palpitations by using Valsalva maneuvers. [1]
The main symptom of AVNRT is the sudden development of rapid regular palpitations. [1] These palpitations may be associated with a fluttering sensation in the neck, caused by near-simultaneous contraction of the atria and ventricles against a closed tricuspid valve leading to the pressure or atrial contraction being transmitted backwards into the venous system.

There are four main types of SVT: atrial fibrillation, atrial flutter, paroxysmal supraventricular tachycardia (PSVT), and Wolff–Parkinson–White syndrome. [2] The symptoms of SVT include palpitations, feeling of faintness, sweating, shortness of breath, and/or chest pain. [1]
The sensation of chest pain can immediately send your mind racing to: "Oh no, am I having a heart attack?" And, it's true that severe pressure or tightness in the chest is the most common symptom ...
Atrial flutter is usually well-tolerated initially (a high heart rate is, for most people just a normal response to exercise); however, people with other underlying heart diseases (such as coronary artery disease) or poor exercise tolerance may rapidly develop symptoms, such as shortness of breath, chest pain, lightheadedness or dizziness ...
Between working, childcare, and yes, even scheduling doctor’s appointments for spouses and parents, that fatigue or pesky jaw pain is simply brushed off by many women.. And while many symptoms ...
A resting heart rate that is too fast – above 100 beats per minute in adults – is called tachycardia, and a resting heart rate that is too slow – below 60 beats per minute – is called bradycardia. [2] Some types of arrhythmias have no symptoms. [1] Symptoms, when present, may include palpitations or feeling a pause between heartbeats. [1]
