What causes fluttering feeling in chest while taking deep breaths?
Patient: What would cause a fluttering feeling in my chest. Which tends to be worse when I take a deep breath. Sometimes followed by my heart beating very hard for a few beats. I am 22 and healthy. However I do take methadone and i am a recovering heroin addict and i have been clean for almost a year. Doctor: HIWell come to HCMI really appreciate your concern this is functional condition and may not be due to withdrawal of narcotic, never ever think in that way, because every one those have left this feels some odd symptoms and thoughts that this could be the withdrawal and they again started taking the drugs, don't do that, nothing is wrong and everything would be fine soon, take care.
