Flutters?

[Guest guest]

After my last serious afib episode in August, I have started having more and

more tiny flutters that make me short of breath. I usually try to stay calm so

I

don't go into afib but I am confused as to why I am getting all these flutters

all

of a sudden when I have only had 2 serious afib attacks in my life. My

endocrinologist swears that even though I am leaning toward hyperthyroidism

it has nothing to do with my afib (my numbers clearly show that I AM

hyperthyroid) . I didn't start having afib until 6 months after I had my child

and

was diagnosed with having post partum induced hyperthyroidism. My

cardiologist seems to think my thyroid levels are the reason but defers to the

endocrinologist since he says thyroid problems is not his specialty. I don't

know what to think? My card. prescribed me Toprol but I am scared to take it

for fear that I will have to stay on it or get stronger meds eventually. My

heart

rate generally gets above 200 when I get an attack. Does anyone have any

advice about flutters?
