Hi Mazatectribe

It's hard to say whether it is normal until you know what is causing the fluttering in your chest. Yes, valve problems can be associated with irregular heart rhythms/palpitations, but it is important to get these checked out by your own doctor to try and get to the root cause of the problem if it making you feel unwell.

Take care,

Ashleigh
