    Could've written everything you just said! The fluttering has not been as bad as it was, but it really scared me too. I'm 50 and almost 2 years into menopause. Some days are better than others, but I never really feel well. I hope you feel better knowing you're not alone. I've been up since 4:30 am. Am lucky to get more than 3 hours of sleep at a time these days. Hope you feel better!

    Yes every now and then my left breast aches which I'm assuming it's my heart. When it feels weird I'm sure those are heart palpitations. I tend to get them when I have my period. I hate when I get this feeling but I do my best to take a few deep breaths and hope they go away soon. I hear you with the sinus stuff--those headaches are awful and I take OTC sinus head pressure for those.

    If you are really worried best to go see someone ...doctor/hospital. But it sounds like a response to being sick. I had a fast heartrate before I caught the flu, the day before actually. I was up in the middle of the night scared. I hope you are feeling somewhat better though.
