Good Morning Riro,the flip flop sensation for me was the most scared l have been in my entire life..I can only describe it as being comparable to a huge fish being caught at the end of a fisherman's line but your heart being the fish absolutely terrifying...Completely on a different scale to palpitations...Of course this is my own personal experience and interpretation possibly not the same for everyone...

Bestest Wishes

Often described as a box of frogs.

SVT merely fast palpitations.
