sj, yup, I get those. Once they wouldn't stop and I went to the ER where I learned a couple things: I wasn't dying, these flutters are common but very prevalent in anxiety sufferers, and these can also be caused by too much caffeine.
They don't hurt but to this day they freak me out.
When I get them now I sit down and take slow deep breaths. That usually does the trick and stops them.
