Symptoms of Atrial Flutter

If you experience any of these symptoms, do not assume the cause is due to atrial flutter. These symptoms may be caused by other, less serious health conditions. If you experience any one of them consistently, see your physician.

Atrial flutter does not always produce symptoms. However, symptoms, when present, include:

• A “fluttering” or tremor-like feeling in the chest
• Palpitations (rapid heart beat or pounding sensation in the chest)
• Pressure or discomfort in the chest
• Shortness of breath
• Anxiety
• Dizziness or fainting
