When your heart flutters, it usually means you may have some minor palpitations!. Palpitations are irregular heart beats, and you should be seen by a doctor soon!. Either that, or you may have a type of underlying heart disease (which is actually kind of hard to believe for the reason that you are only 15, unless you have a major genetic heart disease tie with someone in your family)!. I recommend you get an electrocardiography test by a doctor, or perhaps see a doctor at the very least!. This is abnormal for a 15 year old who is partially underweight!. I hope this helps!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

Atrial flutter is an abnormal heart rhythm that occurs in the atria of the heart!.[1] When it first occurs, it is usually associated with a fast heart rate or tachycardia, and falls into the category of supra-ventricular tachycardias!. While this rhythm occurs most often in individuals with cardiovascular disease (eg: hypertension, coronary artery disease, and cardiomyopathy), it may occur spontaneously in people with otherwise normal hearts!. It is typically not a stable rhythm, and frequently degenerates into atrial fibrillation!. However, it does rarely persist for months to years!.

In general, atrial flutter should be treated the same as atrial fibrillation!. Because both rhythms can lead to the formation of thrombus in the atria, individuals with atrial flutter usually require some form of anticoagulation or anti-platelet agent!. Both rhythms can be associated with dangerously fast heart rate and thus require medication for rate and or rhythm control!. Additionally, there are some specific considerations particular to treatment of atrial flutter!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
