This thread has become long and is diverging a bit.
1) I do not think B-vits give this feeling described here.
2) I have had this flopping in the chest flutter for years. Usually the heartbeat is not affected. But a year or so ago I had one episode where I would have
3-4 normal beats, then a skip. It happened once after a meal. We were on vacation, and I didn't want to drive over 100 miles in the boonies to a small ER...so I sat up (my spells always happen lying down) and the skipping stopped.
3) I have a severe hiatal hernia diagnosed along with my malrotation. So we thought this was the reason. The movement of the stomach/esophagus up thru the diaphram gives a peculiar feeling. and creates this need to cough as well.
4) So then I read a story in the paper about eating a heavy meal (it was after Thanksgiving) and how many people end up in the ER with "heart" symptoms.
The doctor in that article (and I will try to find another to put up here) said this can happen and is typically benign. It is something to do with irritation of the vagus nerve.
5) I have had the flutter for a while, then it goes away for months or even years only to return for a while and go away again. The "need to clear the throat or cough" seems to stop the sensation.
So I would recommend this original poster to evaluate for hiatal hernia, and watch for association of the symptom after a meal.
